Figure 3

Bacterial strains identified only by long reads (blue), only by short reads (magenta), by both technologies (green), and only by a combination of the two (black), ordered by abundance. Long reads identify 51 species that short reads do not detect; combining short and long reads identifies 58 additional species, including ones having the lowest abundance. A total of 178 species are detected using all the methods.
