Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome
Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this...
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...
