  1. Each simulated chromosome is 5 Mb in length, containing roughly 15% mutated content, using mutation event sizes of 5, 25, and 50 kb. In each case, contig statistics are given for the Velvet assembly and for our method, along with the accuracy of our computed contigs. Accuracy is calculated as the percentage of computed contigs that align back to the donor genome.
