Read accuracy, consensus accuracy and speed performance for each basecaller version, plotted against the release date (version numbers specified in Additional file 2: Table S3). Accuracies are expressed as qscores (also known as Phred quality scores) on a logarithmic scale where Q10 = 90%, Q20 = 99%, Q30 = 99.9%, etc. Each basecaller was run using its default model, except for Guppy v2.2.3 which was also run with its included flip-flop model and our two custom-trained models
