We derive an approximation to the distribution of maximum contig size for single genome assemblies using relatively few reads.
To determine whether direct use of the occupancy approximation can be used to obtain maximum contig size probabilities, we compared simulated distributions of maximum contig sizes from reads assembled on a hypothetical genome before and after discretization.
We conclude our applications of our model of maximum contig size probabilities by extending our previous results to weaken the requirement of specifying a fixed pool size, in order to more realistically represent the uncertainties in actual metagenomics experiments.
We note that Eq. 1 accurately represents maximum contig size probabilities obtained from the simulation of the expectation overlap tiled genome, demonstrating that the analytical model operates as anticipated.
The best assembly (i.e minimum number of contigs with maximum contig size) was obtained with a hash value of 23, resulting in 2,885 contigs with an N50 size of 11,807 bp.
Consistent with this and what was observed in Figure 2, maximum contig size probabilities from either the expectation tiled genome simulation or Eq. 1 slightly overestimate the true probabilities.

Fig. 2 provides the cumulative distribution of maximum contig sizes from the expectation overlap tiled genome in blue.
After all reads were assigned, maximum contig sizes were computed for each genome, normalized to read lengths, and the minimum of these (referred to here as the minimax contig size) was recorded.
We verify both our approximation of the distribution of maximum contig sizes for the assembly of a single genome and experimental designs for random pools and distributed genome sizes/abundances by simulation.
De novo assemblies of 7DS and 7BS using Illumina paired-end (PE) sequences with a chromosome arm coverage of 30-34× 30-34×ted resultedin 600,000-1,000,000 contigs peroughlyosome arm, an N50 of ~500-1200 bp, and maxinum contig sizes of just over 30,000 bp [ 21, 22].
In turn, the maximum and N50 contig sizes were relatively insensitive to increased read numbers in the larger datasets.
