Untangling Species-Level Composition of Complex Bacterial Communities through a Novel Metagenomic Approach

We developed a novel method for accurate cataloguing of bacterial communities at (sub)species level involving amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region through optimized primers, followed by next-generation sequencing and taxonomic classification of amplicons by means of a compre...
