'Ideal' mate-pair lengths across 391 bacterial genomes. Average 'tuned' insert sizes for 35, 50, and 100-mer graphs, separated by C-Statistic. As can be seen, those graphs with a C-Statistic higher than 50 had a nearly uniform distribution and short insert sizes, while those with a lower C-Statistic had longer inserts and higher variance. Error bars represent standard deviation.
