Comparison of viral identification tools on uneven mock community samples. Mock community reads were retrieved from a previous study [56] and assembled with metaSPAdes. Prophages were detected and removed with Phigaro and PhageBoost before running each identification tool using optimal thresholds based on previous benchmarks except for viralVerify and VirSorter. F1 score, precision and recall metrics are displayed as separate panels. Each sample is plotted as a single point for each tool, with a boxplot indicating the interquartile ranges, extremes and mean of all three samples
