In a 15-thread evaluation on a computing node using 10 Gb RAM, QuickVariants exhibits a 9.2-fold acceleration in median runtime for generating variant reports compared to bcftools, using human gut microbiome WGS samples (raw read file size ranging from 0.7–3.6 Gb and genome size ranging from 2.2–7.1 Mbp). a Distribution of run time for QuickVariants and bcftools across various bacterial species. In box plots, error bars also indicate a 95% confidence interval (n = 57, 19 mutational densities and 3 aligners), and the central bars represent the median, excluding outliers. b Distribution of run time for QuickVariants and bcftools across different SAM file sizes. In point plots, error bars signify a 95% confidence interval, and the central points denote the mean
