Figure Lengend Snippet: AmpliCI: inferring ASVs from samples. 1) A hash index is applied to construct the unique sequence set S, and the haplotype set contains the most abundant unique sequence. 2) Given the current haplotype set , the scaled abundances are estimated for each remaining unique sequence s m via update function , and the haplotype candidate with the highest scaled abundance is selected. 3) Test if the diagnostic probability is smaller than the given threshold and the approximate Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) improves. If the haplotype is discarded, we select the next most abundant candidate. Otherwise, add candidate s m to the current haplotype set, . 4) repeat 2) - 3) until the scaled abundance of all remaining unique sequences are below the user-determined lower bound c . 5) Output the haplotype set with K haplotypes.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Mean proportion of detected haplotypes ± standard error for six levels of simulated haplotype similarity. For each level, the x coordinate is set to the mean haplotype similarity of the three simulated datasets. When the similarity level among haplotypes increases, AmpliCI performs better than competing methods. Detailed results on each dataset are provided in Supplementary Table S1.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Venn diagrams of haplotypes discovered in the vaginal microbiome dataset by AmpliCI, AmpliCI-con, DADA2, UNOISE3, and Deblur. Haplotypes with a 100% match to the Silva v132 rRNA gene database are shaded. AmpliCI and AmpliCI-con compared to (a) DADA2 with abundance threshold c = 2, (b) UNOISE3 with c = 2 and cross-sample abundance threshold c * = 8, (c) Deblur with c = 2 and cross-sample abundance threshold c * = 10.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Software for assessing satellite DNA This table is not comprehensive. We focus on recently developed assembly-free methods for analysis of large tandem arrays (excluding microsatellites). We also include more widely used methods for assessing tandem repeats in genome assemblies (i) as a comparison to methods designed specifically for assembly-free data, (ii) because some can also be applied to unassembled long reads (as long as the repeat monomers are shorter than the read length), and (iii) because they will continue to prove useful as improved read lengths enable assembly of satellite arrays.
