Table 2.

Exemplary threshold distribution. The values are for (38, 20)-minimizers, 2 errors, and 1 million reads of length 250. Shown are the distribution #x (%x) of the number (percentage) of minimizers reaching from x=14 to x=35 and the threshold t(x) using the probabilistic model from [12]. The threshold t(x) incorporates the correction term cp. On the right, the probability bp(x,a) of having a false-positive answers from the IBF with p=0.05 is shown
