Removal of false positives in metagenomics-based taxonomy profiling via targeting Type IIB restriction sites

Abstract Accurate species identification and abundance estimation are critical for the interpretation of whole metagenome sequencing (WMS) data. Yet, existing metagenomic profilers suffer from false-positive identifications, which can account for more than 90% of total identified species. Here, by l...
