Figure 5

The effect of G+C content of the coding DNA sequences on clustering accuracy. In each panel, the bar chart shows the ARI values (Y-axis on the left) observed from clustering of the data simulated using G+C proportion at (a) 0.5, (b) 0.6, (c) 0.7, (d) 0.8, and (e) 0.9, using (i) BLAST+MCL and (ii) UCLUST, across the specific parameter settings (X-axis on each panel: I for MCL, ID for UCLUST). All numbers shown are averaged across five replicates in each instance. Standard deviation from the mean in each case (not shown) is < 0.02. The δ values are plotted within the same panel (Y-axis on the right). See also Additional file 1: Figure S7.
