Results on 530 sequencing data sets from bacterial genomes retrieved from the Sequence Read Archive at NCBI. Each dot represents the results for one genome, with Centrifuge shown in orange and Kraken in teal. The upper left plot shows sensitivity, computed as the percentage of reads classified as the correct genus. The upper right plot shows precision, computed as the percentage of genus-level classifications made by a program that were correct. The lower left plot shows runtime measured in seconds.
