Relationship between seed similarity and genome similarity.

The correspondence between pheS similarity on the number of high-quality and total bins found. In general, the further the reference is from the original genome, the more likely it is that the bin will not be high-quality. A pheS similarity of 0.3 is sometimes smaller than a species and sometimes larger, but it is usually inside the same genus. In general, it should be expected that the binning service will do very well retrieving bins with pheS similarity greater than 0.8, and is able to retrieve high quality bins at distances as far as 0.3 in some cases. No high-quality bins were retreived with pheS similarity below 0.3.
