Speed for serotype prediction is directly proportional to the size of WGS files. (A) Total time spent for Shigella serotyping was plotted against the sum of size of the paired-end WGS reads in fastq.gz format. Outcomes of serotype prediction are indicated on the right. A linear regression line is shown in black. (B) Total time, time spent on quality (QC) inspection, and time spent on mapping and prediction are plotted against the sum of size of the paired-end WGS reads in fastq.gz format. Linear regression lines of the same color are also shown. The average size for the sum of the paired-end WGS reads was 509.9 ± 538.1 MB and ranged from 30.7 to 3,436.7 MB.
