Microbiome depiction through user-adapted bioinformatic pipelines and parameters

Conclusions. Microbial compositions generated based on the 16S rRNA marker gene should be interpreted with caution. To improve microbial community profiling, bioinformatic protocols must be user-adapted. Analysis should be performed with consideration for the select target amplicon, pipelines and parameters used, and taxa of interest.PMID:37823280 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001756
