A comparison of sequencing platforms and bioinformatics pipelines for compositional analysis of the gut microbiome

Abstract Background Advancements in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies regarding throughput, read length and accuracy had a major impact on microbiome research by significantly improving 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. As rapid improvements in sequencing platforms and new data analysis pipe...
