The fragment classification package (FCP) provides a number of classifiers for assigning query fragments to their source genome:
- Naive Bayes (NB): a composition-based, rank-specific classifier
- BLASTN: a homology-based, rank-specific classifier
- NB-BL: a hybrid, rank-specific classifier combining NB and BLASTN
- Epsilon-NB (epsilon-NB): a composition-based, rank-flexible classifier
- Lowest common ancestor (LCA): a homology-based, rank-flexible classifier
- LCA + epsilon-NB: a hybrid, rank-flexible classifier combining LCA and epsilon-NB
