Comparison of single and merged assemblies for Mycoplasma. For ten bacterial My- coplasma genomes (ten columns), we generated three assemblies using CLC, MIRA and ABySS, that were subsequently merged either with GAA, GAM-NGS or Mix (28 combinations); or not further processed (Single Assembly). The resulting assemblies were assessed using standard statistics for genome assemblies (four rows): Number of contigs, size of the largest contig, N50, number of genes of more than 300bp identified by the GeneMark gene finder. For the number of contigs, the lower the better. For the other three statistics, the higher the better.
