Super-k-mers extracted from a sequence for \(k=6, m=3\). Minimizers are shown in pink, here we use the lexicographic order instead of hashing minimizers for the sake of the simplicity. Super-k-mers 1 and 4 are maximal (they contain respectively k-mers \(\{CTGAAA, TGAAAT, GAAATG, AAATGC\}\) and \(\{TGCACA, GCACAT, CACATT, ACATTT\}\), while 2 and 3 are not (and contain respectively k-mers \(\{AATGCA\}\) and \(\{ATGCAC\}\)
