Discovering the Unknown: Improving Detection of Novel Species and Genera from Short Reads

Figure 3

Comparison of ROC curves using the likelihood-based NBC scores. The AUC metric shows that the detector performs best on 500 bp reads (and not that much lower for 25 bp) for both the species and genus levels for the 100 reads each from the 635 known and 102 unknown training genomes.
