Batches of 200,000 reads of (A+T)-rich DNA were generated and new genome assemblies were reassessed.
After four such batches were added to the assembly, representing about 30% of the data, coverage of the (A+T)-rich regions had improved to 6-fold and the N50 (N50 is the contig size where 50% of the genome sequence is in contigs of size N50 or larger) of contigs had doubled to over 30 kilobases (kbstatistics adequate for gene predictions and analysis. In total, 1.8 gigabases (Gb) were assembled, 7.5 coverage of the (clonable) 236 megabase (Mb) honeybee genome
