Investigating the impact of database choice on the accuracy of metagenomic read classification for the rumen microbiome

Abstract Microbiome analysis is quickly moving towards high-throughput methods such as metagenomic sequencing. Accurate taxonomic classification of metagenomic data relies on reference sequence databases, and their associated taxonomy. However, for understudied environments such as the rumen microbi...
