Extended Data Figure 10. Metagenomic reads align to mobile genes with high fidelity over their entire length.

Extended Data Figure 10

Metagenomic reads were required to align with 99% identity to a mobile gene over at least 50% of the read length. Despite the seemingly low 50% cutoff, almost all reads align with near-perfect nucleotide identity over the entire length of the gene.
