Performance is compared in terms of the percentage of reads mapped back to the reference with five edits or fewer, and the percentage of reads which perfectly match the reference; the 'Δ%' figures for Ibis and AYB, where given, are the percentage improvements over Bustard. See text for further details. †Ibis failed to process the second end of the HiSeq data.
