Average contig coverage is the average number of reads that make up the individual contigs.
For the CRM samples, the average number of reads per sample was 20.82 million, and average number of reads mapped to the genome was 14.34 million.
And the average number of reads per individual was 1,009,705, with an average depth of 5.11 (Fig. 1).
For the CF samples, an average number of reads per sample was 20.53 million, and the average number of reads mapped to genome was 16.84 millions (Table 2).
An average of 9,696,525 Illumina reads were mapped in each individual, with the average number of reads mapped per female or per male being 9,445,507 and 9,947,543 reads, respectively.
The average number of raw reads across all samples was 26.79 million and the average number of reads across all samples with one reported alignment was 18.9 million.
The average numbers of reads of the exponential- and stationary growth-phase samples were 33,162,087 and 34,752,164, respectively, whereas the average number of reads of the ceftazidime survivor samples was 34,336,756.
Overall, average number of reads in a cluster was 5.2 (see Table 1).
Coverage was defined as the average number of reads covering a site on the genome.
The average size of reads after trimming was 60 nucleotides.
