Fig. 3From: Cultivation-independent genomes greatly expand taxonomic-profiling capabilities of mOTUs across various environmentsComparison of metagenomic profiling tools using 16S rRNA-based taxonomic profiles. Spearman correlations between relative abundances generated by different metagenomic profiling tools and 16S rRNA gene-based profiles from the same samples. The correlations were calculated at different taxonomic ranks (x-axis; c class, o order, f family, g genus) and showed that mOTUs3 generally had the highest values for the different body sites tested, except for human gut samples with similar values for mOTUs3 and MetaPhlAn3Back to article page
