Assignment of Illumina reads to taxonomic ranks. The number of reads assigned to nodes at different ranks of the NCBI taxonomy, from the phylum level down to the species level. These numbers are reported for Illumina single reads (yellow), short-clone reads (blue) and long-clone reads (red), for each of the three synthetic metagenome datasets. All datasets normalized to 100,000 for ease of comparison.
