  1. Assemblies of uncorrected and corrected reads using Velvet. E. coli reads are paired and assembled using default parameters. S. aureus reads are comprised of paired fragment reads with average inserts of length 180 and short jump reads with average inserts of length 3500. These reads are assembled using parameterization as described in GAGE.
