Figure 7From: A new method to compute K-mer frequencies and its application to annotate large repetitive plant genomesThe k -mer uniqueness ratio for some assembled plant genomes as a function of k . The uniqueness ratio is the ratio of k-mers occurring exactly once relative to all k-mers in the set. It is computed for every k between 10 and 500. Extrapolating beyond the tested k-mer interval, it appears as though poplar, rice, and grape approach unity at a much slower rate than arabidopsis.Back to article page
