Optimized parameter obtained for each genomic fragment length at each taxonomic rank

	λopt
Fragment length	S	P	C	O	G
800 bp	500	300	100	25	100
1 Kbp	500	300	200	100	100
3 Kbp	500	300	300	500	400
10 Kbp	300	400	300	100	90
15 Kbp	400	300	500	200	100

Optimal lambda parameter (λ_opt) is shown for each genomic fragment length at each taxonomic rank: Superkingdom (S), Phylum (P), Class (C), Order (O), and Genus (G).
