Comparisons of Illumina and Roche 454 assemblies against an independently sequenced reference genome.

Nine Illumina and eight Roche 454 assemblies from independent replicate datasets of the Fibrobacter succinogenes subsp. succinogenes S85 genome sequenced at JGI were compared against the reference assemblies from the JGI and TIGR genome projects of Fibrobacter succinogenes subsp. succinogenes S85. Graphs show the calculated base call error rate (A) and gap open error rate (B) for each comparison (figure key). Red bars represent the median, the upper and lower box boundaries represent the upper and lower quartiles, and the upper and lower whiskers represent the largest and smallest observations.
