A divide-and-conquer algorithm for large-scale de novo transcriptome assembly through combining small assemblies from existing algorithms

Table 1 Data sets used in the evaluation, with organism denoting the organism, type denoting whether the organism is model or non-model, libraries denoting the total number of libraries with the number in parentheses denoting the number of libraries after combining the biological replicates for independent assembly in our algorithm, size denoting the total number of bases in all the reads after quality trimming, and reference denoting the publication that describes the libraries

Schizosaccharomyces pombe	Model	32	16.9 G	[4]
Drosophila melanogaster	Model	13	9.4 G	[18]
Arabidopsis thaliana	Model	5	16.1 G	[19]
Drosophila melanogaster	Model	245 (34)	158 G	[20]
