An inter-laboratory study to investigate the impact of the bioinformatics component on microbiome analysis using mock communities

Abstract Despite the advent of whole genome metagenomics, targeted approaches (such as 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) continue to be valuable for determining the microbial composition of samples. Amplicon microbiome sequencing can be performed on clinical samples from a normally sterile site to...
