A heritability-based comparison of methods used to cluster 16S rRNA gene sequences into operational taxonomic units

A variety of methods are available to collapse 16S rRNA gene sequencing reads to the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) used in microbiome analyses. A number of studies have aimed to compare the quality of the resulting OTUs. However, in the absence of a standard method to define and enumerate the d...
