Evaluating the Information Content of Shallow Shotgun Metagenomics

Evaluating the Information Content of Shallow Shotgun Metagenomics

ABSTRACT Although microbial communities are associated with human, environmental, plant, and animal health, there exists no cost-effective method for precisely characterizing species and genes in such communities. While deep whole-metagenome shotgun (WMS) sequencing provides high taxonomic and funct...
