From: Assessment of k-mer spectrum applicability for metagenomic dissimilarity analysis
Comparison of pairwise difference measures obtained by k-mer and reference-based methods. For each plot, Y-axis represents k-mer distance, X-axis - distance by one of the reference-based methods. Distribution of dissimilarity measures is shown for a BC kmer for all reads and BC TAX (org); b BC kmer for all reads and BC COG; c BC kmer for reads mapped to the catalog of genomes and BC TAX (org); d BC kmer for reads mapped to the catalog of genes and BC COG
