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.
