  1. Values represent the mean percentage of classified reads and the corresponding standard deviation within each read group (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, Heterotrophs, or Unclassified, i.e., reads that could not be assigned), calculated from 10 randomly sampled genome subsets. Reported averages serve as representative values only and may vary slightly with subsampling.
