Evaluation of alternative high-throughput sequencing methodologies for the monitoring of marine picoplanktonic biodiversity based on rRNA gene amplicons

Sequencing of rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction amplicons (rRNA tags) is the most common approach for investigating microbial diversity. The recent development of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has enabled the exploration of microbial biodiversity at an unprecedented scale, greatly...
