Soft Topographic Maps for Clustering and Classifying Bacteria Using Housekeeping Genes

Figure 2

In the upper graph is the box plot graph of the Spearman coefficient. In the chart on the center, we can observe that the number of bacteria belonging to mixed clusters, that is, cells in the map labeled with bacteria of different orders, aims at decreasing as the size of maps increases. In the lower graph is the processing time in minutes (logarithmic scale).
