K -mer uniqueness ratio for the 0.45 × maize WGS data set for varying values of k. The uniqueness ratio is the ratio of k-mers occurring exactly once relative to all k-mers in the set. k = 20 balances the information content with k-mer resolution, visible as a natural inflection point on the curve which may change with organism, sequencing technology, and coverage employed.
