Gene Discovery in the Threatened Elkhorn Coral: 454 Sequencing of the Acropora palmata Transcriptome
Figure 1
Summary of sequencing read length distributions from the A. palmata transcriptome pre and post assembly.
A) Unassembled raw sequencing read lengths (in basepairs, bp) prior to trimming. B) Size distribution of unassembled sequences (in bp) following quality trimming. C) Plot of the relationship between the length of assembled contigs (in bp) and the depth of coverage in terms of the number of raw ESTs they include (note log-log axes). D) Frequency histogram of contig lengths (in bp).
