Table 2 Percentage of genome covered (> 30X) in the three independent replicates, concatenating two replicates (2X) and three replicates (3X) in the specimens that did not exceed the quality threshold when concatenating. Recovery rates of specimens concatenating two replicates and three replicates when a random replicate was selected and when the worst replicate was selected. The replicates which were randomly selected as references are shaded
