From: Next generation transcriptomes for next generation genomes using est2assembly
Boxplot of (A) number of reads assembled in each contig and (B) contig length for each dataset, showing 25% and 75% intervals, the horizontal bar shows the median, the plus sign shows the mean, whiskers encompass entire data range. Sanger technology has been considered a cleaner technique despite a higher cost but the B. anynana dataset (ca 97K sequences) performs poorly when compared to GSFLX. The earlier GS20 technology is significantly inferior and of limited use in transcriptome sequencing.
