Fig. 3

Long PacBio and Nanopore reads equal or surpass the recall of the longest Illumina reads for both BLAST and Kraken2. Each panel shows recall for the different kingdoms. Median recall at the genus level is indicated by blue lines for Nanopore or red lines for PacBio, either dashed (Kraken2) or solid (BLAST). The recall rates for 300 bp Illumina reads are shown as thin solid black lines, again either dashed (Kraken2) or solid (BLAST). Black points show the recall for the short Illumina reads at lengths of 100 bp, 150 bp, and 300 bp. Insets show the upper end of the y-axis in greater detail for both bacteria and fungi
