Illustration of merging two assemblies. a Two types of breakpoints caused by differences between two assemblies are illustrated. Suppose two assemblies asm1 and asm2 have the same assembled sequence segment seg1. The first type of difference is that in asm1, seg1 is extended with seg2 on the right, while in asm1, seg1 ends on the right. The second type of difference is that in ass1, seg1 is extended with seg2 on the right, while in asm2, seg1 is extended with seg3 on the right. b Split the contigs at the breakpoint within the suspicious region. c An example of merging the segments at the breakpoints which are not broken
