A. anguilla

854.0–866.5 Mbp

15.5–20.0%

1.48–1.59%

A. japonica**

1.022 Gbp

38.7%

A. rostrata

12.2–16.9%

1.50–1.60%

  1. *Ranges are the minimum and maximum values reported for three model fits at different k-mer lengths. Apparent repetitive sequence decreases with k-mer length, and heterozygosity increases with k-mer length. **For A. japonica, the model did not converge in most cases, presumably because of low coverage. These results are for k = 19.
