From: A new strategy for better genome assembly from very short reads
Reasons for choosing reference genomes not highly similar to a target genome. (a) Similarity is the similarity value between a reference and a target genome. Accuracy is the proportion of bona fide contigs in a comparative assembly. (b) Given 312 comparative assemblies, proportions of de novo assemblies extended by them are shown using Box-and-whisker plots.
