Table 1.

Running time of the different methods in O notation.

Running time in O notation
D2 O(nl+n24k)
D2z (Kantorovitz et al., 2007)
D2* O(n2(l+4k+4m))
N2 O(n(l+4m+4kNeighbourhoodSize2)+n24k)

n: number of sequences; l: average sequence length; k:k-mer size; m: Markov model order. The running time for D2*is dominated by the quadratic term. The running time for N2 is dominated by the linear term (pre-processing).
