Minimizers and super-mers of the DNA string CAAGAACAGTG. Here, \(k=4\) and \(m=3\). For each k-mer, the bold part is its minimizer. The example uses the lexicographic ordering on 3-mers based on \(A<C<G<T\). The sequence is divided into the five super-mers CAAGA, AGAA, GAACA, ACAG, and CAGTG that would be stored in temporary files
