Illustrating Performance of the various algorithms in respect to the microbial composition. Stacked bar plots of OTUs/ASVs output composition for single-end and paired-end reads from Mockrobiota and HC227_V3V4, respectively (A). Average box plots showing the fraction of exact matches (B), 97% matches (C), contaminants (D) and unmatched (E) for single-end and paired-end reads for the Mockrobiota mock community
