Variation of and associations with the depth and evenness of sequencing coverage in archived plastid genomes.

ABSTRACT: Depth and evenness of sequencing coverage are considered potential indicators of genome assembly quality. In plastid genomics, where new data generation has outpaced the development of assembly quality indicators, these coverage metrics could offer insights into the quality of plastomes of different sizes, structures, or taxonomic origins. However, the variation of sequencing depth and evenness among archived plastid genomes, their variability between genome partitions, and any association with methodological factors have yet to be evaluated. This study explores the variation of sequencing depth and evenness across a sample of publicly accessible plastid genomes in relation to their genome structure, assembly quality, and methodological provenance using uni- and multivariate statistical an
