Fig. 2From: Read-SpaM: assembly-free and alignment-free comparison of bacterial genomes with low sequencing coverageEstimated vs. reference distances, reads against genomes, for large distance values up to one substitution per sequence position. Phylogenetic distances between semi-artificial assembled genomes and unassembled reads (see main text), estimated by Read-SpaM and Mash. Estimated distances are plotted against the real distances for different values of sequencing coverage between 1X and 2−9X. Error bars represent standard deviationsBack to article page
