Fig. 6From: Simplitigs as an efficient and scalable representation of de Bruijn graphsk-mer queries for the N. gonorrhoeae pan-genome on top of the draft assemblies, unitigs, and simplitigs. a Characteristics of the obtained unitigs and simplitigs: number of sequences (NS, thousands) and their cumulative length (CL, megabase pairs). The dot-dash line depicts the CL lower bound corresponding to the number of k-mers. b Memory footprint and time to match 10 million k-mers using BWA. Full results including relative improvements are available in Additional file 5: Table S17–S18Back to article page
