Table 9. Thresholds for mapping LGT segments to genes.

Dataset Thresholds for laterally transferred genes
ECS >500 contiguous k-mers (500 + k − 1 nt)
EB >100 contiguous k-mers (100 + k − 1 nt)
BA >10 contiguous k-mers (10 + k − 1 nt)

The thresholds are selected by means of all detections in three empirical datasets.
