Fig. 4From: HOPS: automated detection and authentication of pathogen DNA in archaeological remainsComparison of the number of successfully recovered Y. pestis reads using standard (SD) and damage-tolerant (DT) MALT with minimum percent identities of a 99%, b 95%, and c 85%. Shown are the recovered reads from the “default” (all reads) and “ancient” (reads with damage) modes in MALT, with the same 500 reads being spiked into the metagenomic backgrounds. Error bars show the standard error of five independent technical replicates for each analysisBack to article page
