Comparison of silhouette coefficient between ALFATClust and other clustering tools for the plasmid nucleotides dataset. γlow for ALFATClust varies from 0.8 down to 0.7 (solid to dotted lines) and T for other clustering tools (x-axis) varies from 0.9 down to 0.7, both with a step size of 0.05. The lowest value of T allowed for nucleotide sequences by CD-HIT is 0.8. DNACLUST cannot cluster some plasmid nucleotide sequences that are too short, and the silhouette coefficients for MeShClust are below zero for the plasmid nucleotides dataset with all values of T
