A New Binning Method for Metagenomics by One-Dimensional Cellular Automata

Figure 3

Experimental result of our binning method, where each row in a subdiagram represents the successive states of the corresponding cell and each column shows the cell’s state in an iteration. There are totally 5,000 rows (or cells) divided into four parts, and the 1D-CA converges after iterations. There are three colors associated with three species of dataset, and the rightmost bars in the four subdiagrams are the output of our binning method.
