  1. A table summarizing average (mean) statistics across 391 prokaryotic genomes (see Additional file 1) when applying 50,000 mate-pairs of a particular length to a graph constructed from k-mers of a particular length. aPercentage of mate-pairs that can be mapped to a shortest path in the graph when comparing exact length of the insert to length of the path. bPercentage of mate-pairs that can ultimately provide unambiguous information for repeat resolution (see Methods on repeat resolution). cPercent reduction in finishing effort (see Methods on finishing complexity) that the set of mate-pairs can provide.
