Fig. 2From: VIBRANT: automated recovery, annotation and curation of microbial viruses, and evaluation of viral community function from genomic sequencesPerformance comparison of VIBRANT, VirFinder, VirSorter, and MARVEL on artificial scaffolds of 3–15 kb. Performance was evaluated using datasets of reference viruses, bacterial plasmids, and bacterial/archaeal genomes. For VirFinder and VirSorter, two different confidence cutoffs were used (VirFinder: score of at least 0.90 and score of at least 0.75, VirSorter: categories 1 and 2 predictions and categories 1 and 2 predictions using virome decontamination mode). All four programs were compared using the following statistical metrics: F1 score, MCC, recall, precision, accuracy, and specificity. To ensure equal comparison all scaffolds tested encoded at least four open reading framesBack to article page
