Fig. 6: The VITAP taxonomic assignments’ accuracy of different confidence levels for family and genus level unit assignments across viral phyla.

The pie charts indicate the true positive and false positive results from family and genus levels unit assignments for viral phyla, with the accuracy (and lineage scores calculated by VITAP). If a taxonomic hierarchy in a viral phylum has no results at a certain confidence level, it will be shown as an empty pie chart. The results demonstrate that VITAP can provide accurate taxonomic assignments at a high-confidence level (lineage score ≥0.9) for all viral phyla, and offer acceptable classification for most viral phyla at a medium-confidence level (0.1 ≤ lineage score <0.9).
