  1. True positive rate at a fixed false positive rate of 0.01 for nine normalization methods and three metagenomic datasets using a group size of 3+3 for 10% DAGs with an average fold-change of 3.
  2. B: balanced, 50% of effects added to each group.
  3. U: unbalanced, 100% effects added to one group only
