Comprehensive Assessment of 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing for Microbiome Profiling across Multiple Habitats
ABSTRACT The 16S rRNA gene works as a rapid and effective marker for the identification of microorganisms in complex communities; hence, a huge number of microbiomes have been surveyed by 16S amplicon-based sequencing. The resolution of the 16S rRNA gene is always considered only at the genus level;...
