Low level variability between both platforms: (A) Number of variable sites containing non-consensus nucleotides at the level above that indicated by the x-axis. Sites were counted across each sample independently for both the 454 (left) and Illumina (right) platforms. (B) The proportion of sites displaying variation that are in agreement between platforms (blue); threshold levels (based on percentiles across the distribution of rate differences) are depicted on the x-axis. Red and black indicate variable sites that are present on within data from single platform only (see key).
