Abstract

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors would like to highlight the following two corrections. 1) The updated “Availability of data and materials” declaration to the article: The datasets and scripts supporting the conclusions of this article are freely and publicly available through the IMMSA server, ftp://ftpprivate. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nist-immsa/IMMSA/ Scripts used for analysis and generating figures are available at: https://scu.med.cornell.edu/git/ abm237/benchmarking_metagenomic_classifiers 2) The authors would like to clarify that the kraken db build command in the manuscript is for the bacterial database; the command for the standard db is available through the kraken manual: krakenbuild -standard -db $DBNAME.
