Fig. 5

Number of indels per 100 kb for different assembly strategies. Numbers of insertions/deletions (indels) for Group A are plotted with different depths of reads. Four different library sizes (300 bp, 400 bp, 500 bp and 600 bp) for both E. coli DH1 and S. Parasanguinis FW213 are shown in different colors. For almost all assemblies, the numbers of indels tended to decrease as increasing number of reads were used for de novo assembly to a certain point. The minimum limit for S. Parasanguinis FW213 was much higher than that for E. coli DH1
