Fig. 5

Relationship between the mutation rate and Mash distance for different k-mer values and sketch sizes. Rows represent different k-mer sizes, and columns represent different sketch sizes. The x-axis is the actual mutation rate, and the y-axis is the Mash distance. The red dotted line indicates a perfect model relationship \(Mash\ distance = mutation\ rate\). The numbers at the bottom right of each plot are the root-mean-square error versus the perfect model
