Fig. 3

Radial plots showing assembly statistics for all metagenomes assessed as measured by the number of contigs larger than 500 bp, the total length of the assembly, the number of contigs larger than 1 kbp, the total bases calculated using only contigs larger than 1 kbp, the largest contigs, the N50 value and for the synthetic datasets the fraction of contigs which aligned to the reference genomes provided. Metagenomes are labelled above the respective radial plots, where the first row represents the soils metagenomes, followed by aquatic, human gut and synthetic metagenomes
