Genome assembly quality assessment in terms of length of the shortest scaffold in each N-class and the number of scaffolds. The quality of the genome assembly was assessed by first sorting all 3143 nuclear scaffolds length-wise from the largest to the smallest scaffold. Then N-classes were defined, where N represents the percentage of genome covered by considering the assembled genome size. The length given for each N-class represents the length of the smallest scaffold present in that particular N-class. The number of scaffolds represents the number of scaffolds present in the respective N-class. The sharp rise after N98 represents the unresolved small contigs, the majority of which are repeat elements
