From classification to confirmation: verifying taxonomic classifications by mapping metagenomic reads to reference genomes

2025-12-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> : Obtaining high precision while maintaining high recall is an ongoing problem for metagenomic taxonomic classification in microbial ecology research. <bold/> Parameter adjustments can achieve this in simulated samples, but in real samples –especially from environments like marine and soil– the proportion of classified reads drops sharply with precision incr...
