Number of minimal absent words at the intersection of selected sets of minimal absent words in four human genome assemblies.

<p>GRCh37 is the reference human genome assembly build 37.1 (grey circles), HuRef is the genome of Craig Venter (pink circles), NA12878 is the human genome assembly from cell line GM12878 (blue circles), and YH is the genome of a Han Chinese individual (green circles). For each human genome assembly, set contains all minimal absent words (MAWs) of length 11 bp, set contains all MAWs of length 50 bp, set contains all MAWs of length 100 bp, set contains all MAWs of length 300 bp, and set contains all MAWs of length 1,000 bp. The noRC area displays results without considering the reversed complement and the withRC area displays results considering the reversed complement.
