Genotyping by sequencing for estimating relative abundances of diatom taxa in mock communities
Abstract Background Diatoms are present in all waters and are highly sensitive to pollution gradients. Therefore, they are ideal bioindicators for water quality assessment. Current indices used in these applications are based on identifying diatom species and counting their abundances using traditio...
