The columns include the number of contigs, NG50 size and its error-corrected size, the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the number of indels and misjoins in contigs, total assembly length, genome coverage (100 - Unaligned ref.), and duplications. K-mer 61 and 55 are the best k-mer sizes for Velvet and SOAPdenovo, respectively. "#k" stands for the applied k-mer size. "#i" stands for the iteration number.
