Probability of mapping at least one seed fragment for two different error-rate thresholds ${\text{ε}}_{max}=10\%,20\%$. As true error rate $\text{ε}$ decreases, the probability values accordingly improve as expected. Similarly, longer alignments spanning more fragments are more likely to be reported. Most importantly, all the sensitivity scores are consistently above 90%. To compute the probability values, sketch size for Minhash based Jaccard estimation was assumed as 200, and the k-mer size was set to 16. These parameter values are internally computed by Mashmap (Jain et al., 2017)
