sl1p effectively removes low quality reads. a sl1p’s quality control workflow consists of paired-end assembly, removal of residual primers, quality trimming, and length filtering. Here, the number of reads culled at each step is presented. Inline percentages indicate the percentage of raw input reads which remain following the quality control process. b This process successfully removes bases of low quality from the resulting paired-end reads as demonstrated here on the raw sequence input from 2 unique mock HMP samples sequenced using 3 PCR and 2 sequencing replicates
