Taxonomic profilers and their influence on metagenomic diversity analyses

2026-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Estimating taxonomic profiles is a central task in microbiome research. Several bioinformatic tools have been developed for this purpose, differing in algorithmic strategy, reference database flexibility, sensitivity parameters, and the type of abundance they estimate. As a result, taxonomic profiles carry an unwanted methodological signal whose driving characteristics remains understudied. Whil...
