Bit scores for Illumina reads. For each of 100,000 (normalized) reads sampled from the HC synthetic metagenome, we plot the highest bit score attained for (a) Illumina single reads (HC-ilm), (b) Illumina short-clone pairs of reads (HC-ilm-S) and (c) Illumina long-clone pairs of reads (HC-lim-L). The latter two charts include the combined bit scores computed using equation (*). The plots for the LC and MC datasets look very similar and are therefore omitted.
