Scaling of simplitigs and unitigs of bacterial pan-genomes as the pan-genome size grows with a better sampling and more within-species variation. a Number of sequences (NS, thousands) and their cumulative length (CL, megabase pairs) for simplitigs (simpl) and unitigs (unit) and the lower bound (lobound) of N. gonorrhoeae and k = 31, as a function of the number of genomes (left) and k-mers (right, millions) included. b Reduction ratio of simplitigs over unitigs for S. pneumoniae (sp) and N. gonorrhoeae (gc) and k = 18, 31, as a function of the number of genomes (left) and k-mers (right, millions) included.
