Accuracy and sensitivity of APDP to rare taxa in high and low-diversity communities.

For each data set the table shows the theoretical minimum number of reads required for a sequence to be potentially validated by APDP in the total data set and in each sample, the minimum relative frequency, the relative frequency of reference sequences, the expected number of sequences or OTUs, the number of unique sequences that passed the minimum read thresholds and were therefore potentially valid sequences, the number of errors retained (FP), and the number of undetected reference sequences (FN).
