Sensitivity of rkmh with respect to sketch size (a) and kmer size (b). There are diminishing returns to increasing sketch size above roughly 4000, regardless of read length. (b) shows that kmers are not sufficiently unique to classify reads with k ≤10. Above k = 18, sensitivity begins to drop, likely due to the effects of incorporating sequencing errors into kmers. This is especially noticeable for ONT minION reads, which have a much higher error rate (above 12% per base for the R7.4 pore) compared to ION Torrent and Illumina (<0.1% per base)
