The high accuracy of the proposed algorithm implies more
stringent trimming of inaccurate contigs, which results in the
reduction of contig length. For this reason, we checked the correctness
of contigs at comparable lengths. We divided the contigs
by their lengths into three groups (600799, 800999 and
10001199 bp). We evaluated the accuracy of each contig
group for the three assemblers using the GMAP. Supplementary
Table S3 shows the results. In all the contig groups for all six
datasets, EBARDenovo always produces the most accurate
results.
