Question of the output #40

Hi I have tried to use the AMBER, but I am confused about the output that there are Average completeness (bp) and CAMI 1 average completeness (bp). What is the difference between them?Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello, the CAMI 1 average completeness is computed as in the CAMI 1 challenge (Sczyrba et al. Nature Methods 2017) and in AMBER v1 (Meyer et al. GigaScience 2018).

The average completeness (without the CAMI 1) is computed, for each genome, from the predicted bin containing the largest number of base pairs (bp) of the genome. It is the average of the number of bp (or contigs) of the genome in that bin divided by the genome size (in bp or contigs). In other words, the bins with the highest completeness per genome are considered. In the CAMI 1 way, the bins in which each genome is the most abundant in bp (compared to the other genomes in the same bin) are considered (see details in the references above).

Note that you also find a definition of the metrics by moving the mouse pointer over a metric in the HTML output.
