Claim

The percentages describe genomic information availability for 4,224 species-level microbial clusters reconstructed from 820 reef-building coral samples across 99 Pacific reefs and 32 islands, including 645 clusters exclusive to Tara Pacific; the species denominator was defined using GTDB r207 and a 95% whole-genome ANI threshold.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The study reconstructed genomes from 820 coral samples across 99 Pacific reefs and 32 islands, covering three coral genera. weight 1.800000 evidence

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 5.000000 (the counted weights) = 5.000000 → probability 0.9933

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9707 to 0.9985, a spread of 0.0278.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Evidence for

The study reconstructed genomes from 820 coral samples across 99 Pacific reefs and 32 islands, covering three coral genera.

From Coral microbiomes as reservoirs of unknown genomic and biosynthetic diversity Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

Supports sample, host, genus, reef, island, and Pacific scope.
The abstract reports 10% genomic information availability for 4,224 species and under 1% for 645 Tara Pacific-exclusive species.

Directly supports both genomic-coverage percentages and denominators.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

The percentages use a GTDB-r207 availability baseline and a 4,224-cluster denominator that includes contextual metagenomes, while Tara-Pacific exclusivity refers to 645 coral-associated clusters.

From Coral microbiomes as reservoirs of unknown genomic and biosynthetic diversity Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

Adds collection years, host genera, Pacific sampling scope, contextual datasets, clustering rule, GTDB baseline, and 638/645 availability detail.

Suppressed as dependent

None.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
