Varying error rate

Error rate	Recall	Precision	Adj Rand
0.000	0.869	0.810	0.696
0.005	0.852	0.794	0.672
0.010	0.856	0.780	0.665
0.020	0.861	0.782	0.668

In tests with mixtures of ten random genomes in random proportions, sequencing errors lead to decreased accuracy. However, the rate at which accuracy decreases as errors increases is slow so that SCIMM is fairly robust to error rates of 2.0%.
