The filter out range of unessential 4-mer selection Not all the l-mers are essential for defining the similarity between two DNA fragments. In figure 3, the x-axis represents the relative position of the D i values in the sorted value list and the y-axis represents the value of P i , which could be considered as the confidence level or the validity of the selection of corresponding D i value as distance for species discrimination. We filter out the range from 0% to 60% to achieve better performance.
