Table 4 Pre- and post-coloring contig assembly results using miniasm, OPTICALKERMIT and Canu. Canu (CONSENT) shows the assembly results of Canu when executed on the CONSENT corrected reads and Canu shows the assembly results when Canu is executed on the original reads which are first corrected by Canu
