Table 1 Comparison of the SNP identification results by the three tools. In these simulated data, the SNP coverages (defined as the number of SNPs identified by the software on these five genomes, divided by the sum of the five genome sizes) were also shown for different tools and different sequencing depths

From: The seasonal changes of the gut microbiome of the population living in traditional lifestyles are represented by characteristic species-level and functional-level SNP enrichment patterns
