In all cases, Mash search required 21 MB of RAM for genome assemblies and 209 MB of RAM for sequencing runs (due to the additional Bloom filter overhead). Organism: source strain. Tech: Sequencing technology ABI 3730, 454 GS FLX, Illumina MiSeq, Illumina HiSeq, Ion PGM, PacBio RSII, Oxford Nanopore MinION. Type: Assembly, reads, 1D and 2D nanopore reads. NCBI accession: NCBI accession of the dataset or reads. The SPAdes [63] assembly was derived from the MiSeq reads. Size: total dataset size in Mbp. LCA: lowest common ancestor classification based on the NCBI taxonomy and the resulting hits within a significance tolerance of the best. In several cases, the LCA is at the family level (Enterobacteriaceae) due to significant Mash hits to both E. coli and S. sonnei species. This is a known species naming conflict within the NCBI taxonomy, with some genomes sharing ANI >98 % between these species. Best hit: reports the smallest significant distance reported
