The SILVA ribosomal RNA gene database project: improved data processing and web-based tools
This FAIRsharing record describes: SILVA is a comprehensive, quality-controlled web resource for up-to-date aligned ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences from the Bacteria, Archae...
Stability of operational taxonomic units: an important but neglected property for analyzing microbial diversity
As a compromise to the factors listed above, we propose using an open-reference method to enhance OTU stability. This type of method clusters sequences against a database and in...
