  1. Mean (SD) values of all investigated diploid species (A. platanoides, V. arboreum and A. thaliana 2×) and all tetraploid species (A. pseudoplatanus, V. corymbosum and A. thaliana 4×) were calculated for SOAPdenovo-Trans (SO), TransLiG (TL) and Trinity (TR) assemblies. Bold values highlight the best performing assembler for each parameter and within each ploidy class
  2. *Transcripts are clustered with cd-hit-est with 95% sequence identity (-c), 95% length difference cutoff (-S) and 95% alignment coverage (-aS)
