Cluster quality scores on simulated datasets for homology inference algorithms. The cluster quality scores of (a) single, average and complete linkage clustering when applied on homologs inferred by GenFamClust and by Neighborhood Correlation and (b) hcluster_sg, MCL, SiLiX and HiFiX clustering on BLAST scores and GenFamClust with single linkage clustering for each simulated dataset. Datasets are arranged in asscending order of similarity and then by asscending order of synteny. a Gene families inferred from GFC-based clustering methods (solid lines) are more accurate than those inferred from NC-based clustering methods (dotted lines) on all clustering algorithms and (b) Gene families inferred from GFC-Single (blue line) are more accurate than gene families inferred from similarity-only based clustering algorithms. The results are displayed in two panels for better legibility
