The percentage of unique k-mers, spaced k-mers, minstrobes, randstrobes, and hybridstrobes (y-axis) on the three largest chromosomes (Chr 1–Chr 3) of the human genome for various sequence lengths of k (x-axis). Each panel shows a separate chromosome. For a given k in the plot, strobemers with n = 2 are computed with parameters (2, k/2, k/2+1, 50) and strobemers with n = 3 are computed with parameters (3, k/3, k/3+1, 25) so that the numbers of extracted nucleotides between the five methods are the same. Y-axes have been cut at 80% for illustration. The values for minstrobes and randstrobes with parameters (3, 6, 7, 25) are below 50% on all the three chromosomes. The values for minstrobes and randstrobes with parameters (2, 9, 10, 50) are below 70% on all the three chromosomes.
