Figure 3From: Mapping single molecule sequencing reads using basic local alignment with successive refinement (BLASR): application and theoryWaiting length to sequence a word of length ≥ k at ε = 0.05 . The waiting lengths to sequence a word of length ≥ k at ε = 0.05 at varrying accuracy. This gives an estimate of the number of bases required to sequence before having an error free stretch that may serve as an alignment anchor.Back to article page
