Table 4.
Subdominant S. thermophilus strain identification by ORI, without/with merge, in a mixture of four or six strains, by using 1000, 4000 or 16 000 Nanopore sequencing reads
Best results are in bold type. Values of Hamming distance: in all experiments, minimum value is 0 (perfect identification); MCC: Matthews correlation coefficient (1=perfect correlation); Ambiguity ratio: number of strains identified/number of strains present; sd: standard deviation
