Overview of public cyanobacterial genome assemblies.
The 440 strains were classified into four morphologies (unicellular, filamentous, heterocystous, unknown). a. Distribution of genome sizes (total length in scaffolds >1000 nt). b. Distribution of the numbers of scaffolds (>1000 nt) by assembly. Note the logarithmic scale of the X axis. Details about strain habitats are available in S1 Fig.
