Table 6 Testing higher number of minimizers for Minimap. Starting with the value we have used for testing, w=5, we increase the number of minimizers by decreasing w all the way to the smallest value w=1. Note that the results for the first column (w=5) appear also in Table 2. They are repeated here for comparison convenience
