Evaluating the running time of acn.sh and benchmarking its accuracy against CopyRighter. a Plot showing the wall-clock runtime of acn.sh, and the running time of ags.sh plus acn.sh, using 4, 8, and 16 threads, for the computation of the 16S rRNA gene Average Copy Number (ACN) in five TARA Oceans metagenomes subsampled to two million paired-end reads. b Scatter plot comparing the ACN computed by acn.sh (upper panel) and CopyRighter (lower panel) with the reference ACN in the metagenomes of the Marine dataset-2. The black line shown in the plot represents the one-to-one relationship. Similarly as above, we applied the following formula to compute the absolute percentage error: 100 x |(ACNref - ACNest)/ACNref|, where ACNest and ACNref are the estimated and reference ACN, respectively
