From: GMASS: a novel measure for genome assembly structural similarity
Examples of consensus segment blocks (CSBs). a CSBs are defined as aligned assembly regions between two assemblies. Sequences in CSBs can contain substitutions (red bases in CSB1) and indels (insertions and deletions; red parts in CSB3). The size of gaps between two CSBs is smaller than a chosen resolution (the minimum length of a CSB). b When two scaffolds from different assemblies are highly similar, a CSB constructed from them covers scaffolds almost entirely. c If the scaffolds from different assemblies are highly rearranged against to each other, a large number of CSBs with short length are constructed. In this case, their total size is almost equal to the total size of the scaffolds
