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
