E [ t ] for different number of cells n in our adaptive compressed algorithm versus the naïve cell by cell sequencing. The total sequenced nucleotides in the naïve case is M _u × max genome size × n = 60n Mbps. The population profile is $\frac{n}{8}\left(3,2,3\right)$ with genome sizes (4, 12, 2) Mbps and τ = 0.2. The genome of length 2 Mbps may not be captured with at most 3% probability; the other two genomes are always captured. The x axis is shown in log scale.
