Comparison of running ASPIRE for 2 iterations with different de novo assemblers on five random samples. It is observed that using SGA for de novo assembly gives slightly lower alignment rates (a) and mapping qualities (b). However, the difference is relatively small. SGA, on the other hand, has the advantage of shorter execution times (c) and consuming much less memory (d) but it is less capable of CPU parallelism (e). The dashed vertical line in (c) indicates 24 hours
