Table 2. Estimates of the genome size of P. lambertiana based on the distribution of k-mers in the paired read data.

	k = 24	k = 31
Total k-mers	1.56 × 1012	1.47 × 1012
Erroneous k-mers	1.20 × 1010	2.20 × 1010
Total correct k-mers	1.55 × 1012	1.45 × 1012
E(unique k-mer depth) mode	49.72	46.77
Estimated genome size	31.1 Gbp	30.9 Gbp
E(unique k-mer depth) mean	48.53	46.02
Estimated genome size	31.9 Gbp	31.4 Gbp

Erroneous k-mers refer to k-mers that were identified as likely to contain errors, and these were removed from the calculation.
