Assembly of a deep-sequenced PNA microbiome by using an iterative hybrid assembly (IHA) approach. a Coverage distribution of assembled MAGs after five cycles in short reads and long reads datasets that were normalized to 10 Gbp. b, c Contig numbers and N50 distributions for 47 paired MAGs assembled by using the hybrid and SR only approaches. Two MAGs only assembled by the hybrid approach were not involved in the comparison
