Overview of the variation among bacterial strains identified by the Lens algorithm. The human gut contains hundreds of thousands of variants, which are distributed across 2,204 genomic regions of up to 112 kbp in length. A region is defined as a maximal set of variants that can be phased by Lens using long reads.
