Relation between amplicon size and number of sequence reads.

<p>Mean number of reads (standard error of the mean) are plotted for the 28 different genes from the bacterial species <i>L. pneumophila, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and S. pneumoniae</i>. This relationship between size and number of reads is statistical significant (p-value <0.001, linear regression) and shows an R² value of 0.23.
