Figure 2.

Comparison of the sequencing content using k-mers. (A) All k-mers identified within the reads were compared to those k-mer from the reference genomes. The x-axis shows the different subsampling of the reads and the y-axis shows the percent of k-mers that were found in the reads. (B) The assemblies of the sequenced strains were compared against the reference assemblies using the Jaccard index of the k-mers. The x-axis shows the different subsampling of the reads used for each assembly. The y-axis shows the Jaccard index. The colors indicate the different library preparation kits. In the boxplots the lower and upper hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles. The whiskers are located at 1.5x of the interquartile range.
