Comparison of mapping tools for classifying rRNA reads from metatranscriptomes. Bar plots showing fractions classified as either rRNA or 'clean' (mRNA) by the various tools (bow: Bowtie2; bowl: Bowtie2 local mode; duk: BBDuk; sea: Seal; smr: SortMeRNA: spl: bbsplit) searched against four different databases (ar: SILVA SSU/LSU NR99; art: ar + tRNA RFAM clans; ds: SortMeRNA (4.3) default database; ss: SortMeRNA (4.3) sensitive database). The line plots represent the percentage of rRNA reads in the sample identified by each method
