Panels A to H present Bioanalyzer DNA-1000 assays showing the sheared genomic DNA used as starting material (black), the larger size DNA fragments discarded in separation 1 (red), and the size fraction purified and recovered after separation 2 (blue). Panel I is a table summarizing the conditions and results displayed in panels A to H. All Bioanalyzer DNA-1000 traces after separation 1 (panel J), and after separation 2 (panel K), are respectively displayed on a graph for the conditions presented in panels A to H.

The lettering of the subfigures is confusing me. Does "A to H" below really mean "D to I"? Panel I would appear to be Figure 1A.

Thank you very much for kindly pointing out the mislabeling of panels in the legend to Figure 1.
As you correctly assumed the legend really has to read: Panels D to K present Bioanalyzer DNA-1000 assays showing the sheared genomic DNA used as starting material (black), the larger size DNA fragments discarded in separation 1 (red), and the size fraction purified and recovered after separation 2 (blue). Panel A is a table summarizing the conditions and results displayed in panels D to K. All Bioanalyzer DNA-1000 traces after separation 1 (panel B), and after separation 2 (panel C), are respectively displayed on a graph for the conditions presented in panels D to K. The conditions displayed in panel K were used to obtain the Illumina composite reads discussed in the text. The wider DNA fragment size distribution from panel K allowed to better analyze the effects of shorter versus longer overlapping regions on consensus reads.
Our sincere apologies for this confusion!
