Numerical values of the efficiency, coverage and matching-bias scores for the three selected primers assessed on GreenGenes and SILVA reference sequences
| Representative set | Score | Primer-set-pair 1 | Primer-set-pair 2 | Primer-set-pair 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GreenGenes 85% | Efficiency | 9.66 | 9.93 | 10 |
| Coverage | 0.863 | 0.854 | 0.833 | |
| Matching-bias | 0.45 | 0.44 | 0.51 | |
| GreenGenes 99% | Coverage | 0.969 | 0.963 | 0.954 |
| Matching-bias | 0.22 | 0.22 | 0.27 | |
| SILVA 99% | Coverage | 0.974 | 0.969 | 0.962 |
| Matching-bias | 0.20 | 0.19 | 0.24 |
The scores have been computed with respect to the GreenGenes 85% representative set, the GreenGenes 99% set and the SILVA 99% not redundant set. Efficiency ranges from 0 to 10 and coverage ranges from 0 to 1
