Characterization of frequentmers associated with liver cirrhosis. A The number of liver cirrhosis frequentmers and healthy control frequentmers identified as a function of the number of samples in which they were detected (recurrency). B Stacked barplot showing the proportion of the total frequentmers being patient and healthy control frequentmers. C Bar plot displaying the frequency with which frequentmers identified in the training set are observed in the test set, for recurrency thresholds 5–20. Results shown represent the mean across the ten folds. D Number of frequentmers detected in the test set for healthy control and liver cirrhosis frequentmers for recurrency threshold of fifteen across folds. Results shown represent the mean across the ten folds. E Number of healthy frequentmers in the training set also detected in the test set of healthy control and patient samples (left). Number of liver cirrhosis frequentmers in the training set also detected in the test set of healthy control and patient samples (right). Frequentmers of the recurrency threshold of fifteen samples were used
