Assembler performance on synthetics simulated datasets, measured by (a) number of misassemblies, (b) unaligned length, (c) number of unassigned bases (N’s) per 100 kbp, (d) number of mismatches per 100 kbp and the number of indels per 100 kbp. These statistics represent negative assembly statistics and are a reflection of poor performance. Each assembler is indicated by different colors and the complexity of the synthetic dataset is indicated on the x-axis
