Figure 3.

Non-parametric correlations of DDH values with distances based on MUMmer. Each boxplot comprises Kendall’s correlation coefficients calculated for all GBDP distance formulas, the greedy-with-trimming algorithm and the selected MUMmer parameter combination. Note that lower values indicate better DDH prediction. The x-axis comprises the three investigated series of minimum MUM lengths ranging between 16 and 50, one series per setting for the treatment of matches in both forward and reverse strand, abbreviated max, mum and ref, respectively. For the meaning of these abbreviations, see Table 1.
