  1. As discussed in the text, a zero percent filter threshold setting retains only candidates with bit scores equal to the top non-self blast match. A setting of 100% retains all matches as candidates for subsequent LPI calculations. Some columns have slightly lower total numbers due to matches with uncultured organisms, which contain no lineage information but were not filtered out in this experiment.
