Rbec consists of two main steps: error matrix estimation and abundance probability calculation. For the error matrix estimation, Rbec traverses through all query reads and reference sequences and matches each read with a unique candidate error-producing reference. Alignments between input and reference sequences are then used to calculate the error matrix. Finally, abundance probabilities are estimated by fitting a Poisson distribution.
