Extended benchmarking analysis of metagenomics taxonomy profiler pipelines across various datasets. Collection of benchmarked taxonomic profilers (A). Bar plot showing the weighted sum of ranks (wsr) of scores calculated by using three metrics: F1 score, L1 norm, and weighted UniFrac. Colors in the bars highlight the contribution of each metric to the final wsr. Taxonomic profiling pipelines are sorted from the lowest (best) to the highest (worst) wsr. The heatmap represents the wsr obtained for each taxonomic profiler per group of benchmarking datasets (B). Scatter plots of weighted UniFrac scores versus F1 scores (C) or purity (precision) versus completeness (recall) (D) for each benchmarked taxonomic profiler and dataset group. Each dot corresponds to the mean of scores obtained for a group of sample datasets. The color and shape of each dot are associated with a taxonomic profiler pipeline
