  1. * The total number of reads is 1000, we eliminated the incomplete or ambiguous reads in order to ensure all the programs run smoothly across the benchmark test. Both templates are Homo sapiens chromosome fragments within an acceptable length range for all the above applications (Solexa reads of 36 bp).
