Taxonomy benchmarks

Benchmarking taxonomy predictions Validating taxonomy classifiers Benchmark data download Defining "accuracy" of taxonomy classifiers Taxonomy confidence measures Taxonomy classification errors Tested methods Case study: RDP predicts genus, UTAX predicts phylum
Results tables Overall accuracy results (sensitivity and error) Overclassification error results UTAX, RDP and SPINGO compared on 16S genus and species UTAX and RDP compared on the Warcup ITS database
Sensitivity / error plots: Comparing UTAX to the RDP Naive Bayesian Classifier How to read a sensitivity / error plot UTAX vs. RDP S/E plot for full-length 16S UTAX vs. RDP S/E plot for 16S V3-V5 region (~530nt) UTAX vs. RDP S/E plot for 16S V5 region (120nt) UTAX vs. RDP S/E plot for fungal ITS1 UTAX vs. RDP S/E plot for fungal ITS2
OTUs from different regions: Comparing UTAX and QIIME closed-reference OTU picking Making OTUs from different gene regions QIIME closed-ref OTUs Greengenes fragment test Greengenes fragment test results HMP sample test HMP sample test results
