Precision and recall values are compared between two different coverages (40 × and 100 ×) at highly contaminated data (α = 70%, 80%, and 90%). Much deeper coverage is required when severe contamination is expected.

aα is the proportion of the control sample in the disease sample (contamination level).

bn.Answer is the number of true somatic mutations.

cn.Predict is the number of mutations predicted by Virmid.

dn.Correct is the number of correct mutations in the prediction.
