Fig. 4

Precision-recall plot for precision and recall of various gene family inference methods on the metazoan dataset. The right top corner shows the maximum cluster quality for compared methods. GFC-Single and GFC-Complete have the best cluster quality followed by NC-Hierarchical and NC-Average. MCL, GFC-Complete and NC-Complete do not have data to test for recall beyond 0.54, 0.56 and 0.6 respectively. Other linkage algorithms on NC (NC-Single, NC-Average and NC-Hierarchical) have a maximum recall of 0.8 while GFC-Single and GFC-Average have a maximum recall of 0.75. Single linkage clustering on BLAST scores and HiFiX have maximum recall of 0.85. The inset zooms in for better legibility for recall between 0.45 and 0.6
