Figure 3

Comparison of masking using either k -mer frequencies or alignment-based repeat masking. (A) Percent of nucleotides masked in 100 BAC sequences (total length 14.3 Mb) as a function of absolute frequency threshold (logarithmic scale). Values are given for the sum of all sequences, and for the most and least repetitive BACs within the set. (B) Overlap between regions masked using the k-mer frequency based method and those masked using RepeatMasker (MIPS REcat library).
