Short-read assembly of full-length 16S amplicons reveals bacterial diversity in subsurface sediments.

In microbial ecology, a fundamental question relates to how community diversity and composition change in response to perturbation. Most studies have had limited ability to deeply sample community structure (e.g. Sanger-sequenced 16S rRNA libraries), or have had limited taxonomic resolution (e.g. st...
