The performance of rRNA recovery on synthetic community data
| Tool | # output genes | # genes recovered | # genera recovered | # incorrect assemblies | Running time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| REAGO | 59 | 58/64 | 47/50 | 2 | 12:28:01 |
| EMIRGE 16S DB, excluding the 64 genes | 76 | 42/64 | 33/50 | 42 | 120:30:11 |
| EMIRGE 16S DB, excluding the 50 genera | 105 | 19/64 | 16/50 | 89 | 120:25:38 |
| IDBA-UD | 61 | 39/64 | 33/50 | 28 | 17:26:50 |
| MetaVelvet | 135 | 4/64 | 4/50 | 131 | 7:56:01 |
‘# output genes’ is the number of outputs longer than 1 350 nts. The CM used in REAGO is trained on 16S rRNA genes excluding all in the 50 genera of the test data.
