Optimizing taxonomic classification of marker-gene amplicon sequences with QIIME 2’s q2-feature-classifier plugin
Taxonomic classification of marker-gene sequences is an important step in microbiome analysis. We present q2-feature-classifier (https://github.com/qiime2/q2-feature-classifier)...
Greengenes, a Chimera-Checked 16S rRNA Gene Database and Workbench Compatible with ARB
ABSTRACT A 16S rRNA gene database ( http://greengenes.lbl.gov ) addresses limitations of public repositories by providing chimera screening, standard alignment, and taxonomic cl...
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...
Swarm: robust and fast clustering method for amplicon-based studies
Popular de novo amplicon clustering methods suffer from two fundamental flaws: arbitrary global clustering thresholds, and input-order dependency induced by centroid selection. ...
UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection
Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...
