Alignment statistics for Celera Assembler contigs aligned to the reference genome.

Alignment was performed with NUCmer [36], [37], filtering to extract only the optimal placement of each draft contig on the reference (see Supplemental Materials in File S1). Note that the number of gaps can be substantially fewer than the number of aligned contigs because alignments may partially overlap or be perfectly adjacent with respect to the reference. The number of gaps can also exceed the number of aligned contigs due to multiple partial alignments of contigs to the reference sequence.
