Benchmarking ViroProfiler on mock samples. a) Compares the performance of ViroProfiler with Kraken2 and Bracken in detecting viruses. b) Compares the performance of ViroProfiler and Bracken in providing estimations of viral abundance. BrackenSTD, when Bracken was used with the Kraken2 standard database. BrackenVPF, when Bracken was used with the custom database. Bracken was used for estimating the abundance of identified taxa. Smaller values indicate closer similarity to the true composition profile.
