<p>(a) Schematic of the approach. A supplemental barcode-pairing protocol (grey box) resolves the two distinct barcodes affixed to each original target molecule. (b) Reads associated with two distinct barcodes are shown aligned to the <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> MG1655 reference genome. Barcode pairing merges the groups (bottom), increasing and evening the coverage and allowing assembly of the full 10-kb target sequence. (c) Length histogram of synthetic reads assembled from <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> MG1655 genomic reads (minimum length 1 kb). The N50 length of the synthetic reads is 6.0 kb, and the longest synthetic read is 11.6 kb. (d) Mismatch rates of synthetic reads from the <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> MG1655 dataset as a function of relative position along the synthetic read. (e) Length histogram of synthetic long reads assembled from <i>Gelsemium sempervirens</i> genomic reads (minimum length 1.5 kb). The N50 length of the synthetic reads is 4.3 kb. (f) An additional multiplexing index region (grey square) allows adapter-ligated samples to be mixed and processed in a single tube. Genomic DNA from twenty-four experimentally evolved strains of <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> was separately ligated to adapters and amplified, then mixed into a single tube for the remaining steps of the protocol. <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> genome coverage and N50 length are plotted for synthetic reads from each strain. Circle size indicates the number of short reads demultiplexed to a given strain.</p>
