Figure 4

Reduction in finishing complexity for 'tuned' vs. standard mate-pairs. Graphs on left (A) depict the mean percent reduction in finishing complexity on graphs constructed from a particular k-mer size given a set of ideal ('tuned') mate-pair libraries (grouped according to the C-Statistic). The ideal libraries are graph-specific, but the smaller of the two libraries averaged between 4.5 k and 6 k, where k is the original k-mer size (read length) used to construct the graph. Graphs on right (B) depict the same statistics when using a mixture of two long libraries (2000 and 8000 bp).
