Robust species taxonomy assignment algorithm for 16S rRNA NGS reads: application to oral carcinoma samples
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Usefulness of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in assessing bacteria associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been undermined by inability to classify reads to the species level. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop a robust algorithm for species-level classification of NGS reads from oral samples and to pilot test it for profiling bacteria within OSCC tissues. METHODS:...
