The first three columns describe the dataset while the last three columns summarize the predictions of the PhyloPythiaS generic model. The last three columns show the average taxonomic distances between the predicted order and the correct order (Tax Dist), the consistency calculated based on the fraction of assigned scaffolds (Const_n_scaff) and the consistency calculated based on the fraction of assigned base-pairs (Const_n_bp). See ‘Results’ for the definitions of taxonomic distance and consistency. The micro average is the average value over all scaffolds and the macro average represents the average over the genome bins.
