Distribution-Based Clustering: Using Ecology To Refine the Operational Taxonomic Unit

Distribution-Based Clustering: Using Ecology To Refine the Operational Taxonomic Unit

16S rRNA sequencing, commonly used to survey microbial communities, begins by grouping individual reads into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). There are two major challenges in calling OTUs: identifying bacterial population boundaries and differentiating true diversity from sequencing errors. Curr...
