From: i-rDNA: alignment-free algorithm for rapid in silico detection of ribosomal gene fragments from metagenomic sequence data sets

Validation data set Total number of sequences (X) i-rDNA predicted 'probable 16S rDNA' sequences (Y) Fold reduction in search space (X/Y) meta-RNA predicted 16S rDNA sequences (A) i-rDNA predicted 16S rDNA sequences within 'A' (B) Detection sensitivity (B*100/A)

  1. * X = The total number of sequences in a given data set; Y = Total number of sequences predicted by the i-rDNA program as 'probable rDNA sequences' in that data set
  2. ** A = The total number of 16S rDNA sequences predicted by meta-rna program in the entire data set;
  3. B = Number of 16S rDNA sequences within the subset of 'probable r-DNA sequences' predicted by i-rDNA
