Comparison of assemblies of the Bacillus sp. NRRL B-14911 genome based on sequencing long-reads followed by de novo assembly as opposed to sequencing short-reads with subsequent scaffold building. Coverage maps depict short-read contigs assembled by scaffolding (top panel) and short-read contigs prior to scaffolding (middle panel) from a previous BioProject assembly of the Bacillus sp. NRRL-14911 genome, as aligned against our de novo assembly using long-reads. Alignment of short-read scaffolds and contigs is shown in the bottom panel. Red denotes 1X coverage by scaffolds, and blue denotes 1X coverage by the remaining unscaffolded contigs from the BioProject final assembly. Arrows point to areas with 2X coverage by sequences in their final contig list (visible as green sections in the online version with zoom)
