Reconstructing the Genomic Content of Microbiome Taxa through Shotgun Metagenomic Deconvolution

Prediction accuracy is correlated with variation.
Average error in prediction accuracy for each gene orthology group (red squares) as a function of the variation (standard deviation divided by the mean) across samples, R = −0.48, p<4.3×10−7 (A), and across species, R = −0.53, p<2.0×10−8 (B). Best fit lines are illustrated. Error is calculated as the relative error in the length prediction for each gene orthology group.
