Analysis was done over a 522,763 bp region corresponding to protein-coding region ±8 bps that overlaps with the GIAB high confidence regions

TP true positive, FP false positive, FN false negative, MCC Matthews correlation coefficient

aSensitivity = TP / (TP + FN)

bPrecision = TP / (TP + FP)

cMCC = (TP × TN) − (FP × FN) / √[(TP + FP)(TP + FN)(TN + FP)(TN + FN)]
