Table 2.

Probabilities of false positive (P_FP, Eq. 8) and false negative outcomes (P_FN, Eq. 9) in relation to assumed fragment lengths (L_F) resulting from DNA shearing. Reported numbers refer to a scenario where L_G = 5 Mbp (total length of genome) and L_C = 5 kbp (length of gene cassette). Note that the values reported for P_FN represent worst-case estimates.

LF (kbp)	P FP	P FN
10	0.002	0.5
20	0.004	0.25
50	0.01	0.1
100	0.02	0.05
