Figure 2.

Genomic distances between pairs of fungal genomes at various taxonomic ranks, calculated by (A) Mash and (B) Dashing with k-mer size 16. Horizontal lines crossing pairs of taxonomic ranks show the best division lines between the ranks, calculated to minimize the share of genomic distances on the wrong side of the line (misclassified distances). Numbers next to the line mark the y-axis intercept (the genomic distance threshold), and percentages show the proportion of misclassified distances by horizontal line closest to them. The y-axis is linear for Mash distances (A) and logarithmic for Dashing distances (B).
