Figure 2

Collinearity increases the superscaffold sizes of the canary genome significantly (yellow field) so that the assembly quality approaches that of the chicken, turkey and zebra finch, all based on additional sequencing information such as genetic linkage maps (blue field). Note that the values are given as log bp. Without collinearity, the superscaffold length of the canary genome is among the highest among genomes sequenced with next generation technologies (ngs) only (green field). Note that details of the assembly procedures for the budgerigar, ground finch, emperor penguin, Adelie penguin, and rock dove have not been published. The N50 contig length is in red, and the N50 superscaffold length is in blue. For scientific species names and sources of genome assemblies see Materials and methods section M5.
