Figure 3

Comparison of Target Specificity Classes (TSCs). Overview of how the TSCs – as defined by the 3 pipelines – (partially) overlap or are divided into smaller sub-categories (A). O = OligoRAP, S = sigReannot, I = IMAD. Numbers indicate the corresponding TSCs. LCS = Longest Contiguous Stretch. IMAD does not differentiate between different hit types. OligoRAP and sigReannot differentiate between High Quality alignments (HQ hits, called "hits" by sigReannot and "primary hits" by OligoRAP) and Low Quality alignments (LQ hits, called "noise" by sigReannot and "secondary hits" by OligoRAP). Figure B shows how more detailed TSCs can be grouped into 3 base TSCs for comparison of the results: one hit (I1 = O1+O2 = S1+S3+S4), multiple hits (I2 = O3+O4+O5 = S2+S5+S7) or no hits at all (I3 = O6 = S6).
