Measuring metagenome diversity and similarity with Hill numbers.

Molecular ecology resources - 1 Nov 2018

Ma Zhanshan Sam, Li Lianwei

Abstract excerpt

The first step of any metagenome sequencing project is to get the inventory of OTU abundances (operational taxonomic units) and/or metagenomic gene abundances. The former is generated with 16S-rRNA-tagged amplicon sequencing technology, and the latter can be generated from either gene-targeted or whole-sample shotgun metagenomics technologies. With 16S-rRNA data sets, measuring community diversity with diversity...
