Percentage of genome covered by contigs. For different assembly strategies, the percentages of the genomes covered by the resulting contigs are plotted against depth of read coverage for E. coli DH1 and S. Parasanguinis FW213. Four different library sizes (300 bp, 400 bp, 500 bp and 600 bp) are shown in different colors. There was no large difference for different assembly strategies. The median library sizes covered higher genome fraction when the depth of read coverage was low
