Table 1 Sequencing library information and VEEV/EVEV detection information across various analytical tools from both virus-positive (4.1) and virus-negative (1.1) samples. Numbers in the rows corresponding to taxonomic analysis tools indicate the number of VEEV/EVEV reads detected by that tool from the particular dataset. Asterisks (*) indicate analysis against a curated database of 144 VEEV and EVEV genomes, rather than the full RefSeq-sized database used by kmer tools (Kraken, Kaiju, Centrifuge).
