Contigs are ordered from largest (contig #1) to smallest. FRCurve: Y is the total number of aligned bases divided by the reference length, in the contigs having the total number of at most X. Contigs are broken into nonoverlapping 100 bp windows. Plot shows number of windows for each GC percentage. Plot shows number of contigs with GC percentage in a certain range.
