Two examples of strand bias profiling. X-axis is about the counts of relative forward strand K-MERs, while the Y-axis is about relative reverse ones. a shows a case of very little strand bias because most points are close to the line y=x, and (b) shows a case of serious strand bias because lots of points are close to X-axis and Y-axis, and repeat counts of some K-MERs are very high so the figure seems very sparse.
