Simulated quantification of sequence reads obtained from six different genomes using the AFS pipeline. “Difference abs.” shows the difference between the proportions of reads, as determined by AFS (“proportion”), relative to the expected amounts existing in the sample (“target value”). “Difference rel.” is calculated by dividing “Difference abs.” by the expected proportion value.
