  1. k column shows k-mer size selected for each tool. First ‘Increase’ column shows percentage increase in reads aligned. Second ‘Increase’ column shows percentage increase in the fraction of aligned bases that match the reference genome. The original row is before error correction and the other rows are after error correction.
