Fig. 1From: Rational probe design for efficient rRNA depletion and improved metatranscriptomic analysis of human microbiomesComparison of mapping tools for classifying rRNA reads from metatranscriptomes. Bar plots showing fractions classified as either rRNA or 'clean' (mRNA) by the various tools (bow: Bowtie2; bowl: Bowtie2 local mode; duk: BBDuk; sea: Seal; smr: SortMeRNA: spl: bbsplit) searched against four different databases (ar: SILVA SSU/LSU NR99; art: ar + tRNA RFAM clans; ds: SortMeRNA (4.3) default database; ss: SortMeRNA (4.3) sensitive database). The line plots represent the percentage of rRNA reads in the sample identified by each methodBack to article page
