Figure 2From: Assemblathon 2: evaluating de novo methods of genome assembly in three vertebrate species NG graph showing an overview of fish assembly scaffold lengths. The NG scaffold length (see text) is calculated at integer thresholds (1% to 100%) and the scaffold length (in bp) for that particular threshold is shown on the y-axis. The dotted vertical line indicates the NG50 scaffold length: if all scaffold lengths are summed from longest to the shortest, this is the length at which the sum length accounts for 50% of the estimated genome size. Y-axis is plotted on a log scale. Fish estimated genome size = ~1.6 Gbp.Back to article page
