On using clustering statistics for assessing plasmid binning tools accuracy

Brief Bioinform. 2026 May 4;27(3):bbag240. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbag240.

ABSTRACT

We discuss the drawbacks of using homogeneity and completeness, statistics defined for the evaluation of clustering accuracy, for evaluating plasmid binning tools accuracy, motivated by the recently published paper “Circling in on plasmids: benchmarking plasmid detection and reconstruction tools for short-read data from diverse species,” by Teixeira et al.
