Figure 1.

A super-k-mer g of length 16 with $\left|g\right|-k+1=16-13+1=4$k-mers $x_{g,1},x_{g,2},x_{g,3},x_{g,4}$ for $k=13$ and minimizer length $m=7$. The shaded boxes highlight the minimizer whose start position is $p_{g,i}$ in k-mer $x_{g,i}$. It is easy to see that $i=p_{g,1}-p_{g,i}+1$ for any $1\le i\le \left|g\right|-k+1$.
