A fungal mock community control for amplicon sequencing experiments.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial ecology has been profoundly advanced by the ability to profile complex microbial communities by sequencing of marker genes amplified from environmental samples. However, inclusion of appropriate controls is vital to revealing the limitations and biases of this technique. "Mock community" samples, in which the composition and relative abundances of community members are known, are particularly valuable...
