Table 1 Comparison of runtimes (wall times) for all datasets used in the assembly benchmark. All tools were run with 16 threads, except for Haploflow, which did not support multi-threading. Values are given in [hh]:mm:ss. “-”: assemblers did not produce any results. Values marked with a are lower bounds because the tools did not finish on all samples
