  1. Values correspond to the average, the minimum and the maximum alignment coverages before and after applying the GRA-FIL filtering procedure, as well as the average, the minimum and the maximum for the GRA-FIL criterion (i.e., the percentage of likely erroneous alignment positions). Full results are given in Additional file 1.
