data. If the user is not interested in statistics, essential functions will take approximately 5.6 min for short reads, 49.2 min for long reads, and 40 min for the
usage of hybrid reads. Furthermore, no additional time is spent between analyses using the additional function of MEGAnnotator2 to manage multiple

samples.

MEGAnnotator2 improvement with respect to the old version
To highlight the enhancement made in MEGAnnotator2, a comparison against the first version (MEGAnnotator) was performed. Several features of the

updated pipeline were not compared due to their absence in MEGAnnotator, e.g., quality reports of sequenced reads, genome quality assessments, and
metabolic profiling. Furthermore, since the older pipeline version cannot manage long reads data, we only employed the short reads belonging to the 10
