Table 6 C. elegans assembly results with normally colored and unicolored contigs, with miniasm pre-coloring assembly results for comparison. The most promising coloring parameters were used without OPTICALKERMIT’s color propagation. The results for unicolored OPTICALKERMIT are practically the same as the results of the pre-coloring assembly
