Sediment-associated bacterial community and predictive functionalities are influenced by choice of 16S ribosomal RNA hypervariable region(s): An amplicon-based diversity study.

Abstract excerpt

Meta-omics approaches such as high-throughput sequencing of 16S hypervariable region(s) [HVR(s)] is extensively applied for profiling microbial community. Several studies have deciphered the influence of HVR(s) on bacterial diversity; most of these were devoted to human body habitats. Extent to which targeted HVR(s) influences the diversity estimates of environmental samples is rather unclear. Here, we evaluated...
