Figure 2.

Overview of set of k-mer sets building blocks. We classified strategies in color-aggregative approaches and k-mer aggregative approaches (second column). The top row of the figure indicates the general categories of components of each method: the type of k-mer set; the way multiple sets are combined together; and an optional compression scheme. Each next row describes one of the surveyed methods. The cells in this figure are methodological choice, potentially common across methods; hence many cells are joined.
