  1. 1BCM-HGSC team also included an evaluation bird assembly with Illumina and Roche 454 data only.
  2. 2One of the two evaluation assemblies by the SOAPdenovo team included a bird assembly that used Roche 454 and Illumina.
  3. Team identifiers are used to refer to assemblies in figures (Additional file 2: Table S1 lists alternative identifiers used during the evaluation phase). Sequence data types for bird assemblies are: Roche 454 (4), Illumina (I), and Pacific Biosciences (P). Additional details of assembly software, including version numbers and CPU/RAM requirements of software are provided in Additional file 2: Tables S2 and S3. Detailed assembly instructions are available for some assemblies in Additional file 3.
