Fig. 3From: Phylogenetically typing bacterial strains from partial SNP genotypes observed from direct sequencing of clinical specimen metagenomic dataThe effect of SNP number on phylogenetic placement. The SNPs were randomly subsampled from each genome at different levels and were then inserted into the phylogeny 30 separate times with either the genome removed (gray) or not removed (red). The number of reference positions required for accurate placement are illustrated by the height of bars, but were capped at 9,500 positions. The phylogenomic clade designations (a-e) are shown at each relevant nodeBack to article page
