Performance as clade exclusion level is varied. Sensitivity (a) and precision (b) on the MetaSimHC dataset of simulated 250 bp reads. There is a wide range of variability in the sensitivity and precision of the methods with sensitivity tending to decrease as the level of clade exclusion moves from species to class. Performance is calculated based on proportion of reads appropriately assigned and averaged per genome (see Methods)
