Alignment of uncorrected and ACE-corrected reads in the neighborhood of a contig breakpoint: The first track shows the 21-mer coverage of the uncorrected data. The second track (Ref) contains part of the reference genome, which is assembled into one contig from uncorrected data. A repeated 21-mer is indicated in red. The third track (Uncorrected) shows the alignment of the uncorrected, but error-free reads to the reference. The fourth track (Corrected) uses these same alignment positions, but with the sequence content of the corrected reads. Newly introduced errors are indicated by a character in the reads. The rectangle in the fourth track indicates 75 overlapping 21-mers that are lost as a result of erroneous error correction
