Number of reads and EGT yield for each data set. Some metagenomic reads have matches to more than one Pfam family and therefore are translated into more than one EGT. The column "Unique" denotes the total number of EGTs where EGTs from the same read are counted only once. The column "Yield" denotes the fraction of (unique) EGTs that could be obtained from the corresponding data set.
