Figure 2.
On the right, we list the three BLASTX matches obtained for a specific read r from the mammoth data set, to sequences representing Campylobacter lari, Helicobacter hepaticus, and Wolinella, respectively. The LCA-assignment algorithm assigns r to the taxon Campylobacterales, shown on the left, as it is the lowest-common taxonomical ancestor of the three matched species.
