Simple Matching Using QIIME 2 and RDP Reveals Misidentified Sequences and an Underrepresentation of Fungi in Reference Datasets

Simple nucleotide matching identification methods are not as accurate as once thought at identifying environmental fungal sequences. This is largely because of incorrect naming and the underrepresentation of various fungal groups in reference datasets. Here, we explore these issues by examining an e...
