Table 8 The comparison between MetaBinner and other ensemble binners in ensemble strategy
BMC3C | DAS Tool | UniteM | MetaWRAP | MetaBinner | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Independent of other individual binners | \(\checkmark\) | \(\times\) | \(\times\) | \(\times\) | \(\checkmark\) |
2. Use single-copy gene (SCG) information | \(\times\) | \(\checkmark\) | \(\checkmark\) | \(\checkmark\) | \(\checkmark\) |
3. Run CheckM on only one of all component binning results | – | – | \(\times\) | \(\times\) | \(\checkmark\) |
4. Use Binning_refiner to generate some of the candidate bins | \(\times\) | \(\times\) | \(\times\) | \(\checkmark\) | \(\checkmark\) |
5. Can directly integrate more than three component binning results | – | \(\checkmark\) | \(\checkmark\) | \(\times\) | \(\checkmark\) |
