Figure 1

Bombus terrestris transcriptome_v1 assembly. (a) Venn diagram depicting the contig contribution to CAP3 second order contigs from the three primary assemblers, MIRA_454 (green), Newbler_454 (red) and PG_Sanger (blue) contigs, consisting of previously available Sanger sequenced ESTs and mRNA available on GenBank. Venn diagram displays overlaps between the first order contig assemblers in CAP3 second order assembly. Numbers in bold in the figure correspond to the number of contigs assembled or unassembled from primary assemblies by CAP3. (b) Map of regions of Venn diagrams depicting range in contig credibility: 1° contigs are highly credible, consisting of contributions from all three primary assemblies; 2° contigs are less credible contigs, consisting of contributions from only two primary assemblies; 3° contigs consist of CAP3 contigs assembled from only one primary assembly set; 4° contigs are unassembled contigs from the primary assembly and are considered poorly credible.
