Evaluation of bias induced by viral enrichment and random amplification protocols in metagenomic surveys of saliva DNA viruses
28 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Viruses are key players regulating microbial ecosystems. Exploration of viral assemblages is now possible thanks to the development of metagenomics, the most powerful tool available for studying viral ecology and discovering new viruses. Unfortunately, several sources of bias lead to the misrepresentation of certain viruses within metagenomics workflows, hindering the shift from merely descriptive...
