Construction of habitat-specific training sets to achieve species-level assignment in 16S rRNA gene datasets

Abstract Background The low cost of 16S rRNA gene sequencing facilitates population-scale molecular epidemiological studies. Existing computational algorithms can resolve 16S rRNA gene sequences into high-resolution amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), which represent consistent labels comparable acro...
