Inference based accuracy of metagenome prediction tools varies across sample types and functional categories

2020-01-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Despite recent decreases in the cost of sequencing, shotgun metagenome sequencing remains more expensive compared with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Methods have been developed to predict the functional profiles of microbial communities based on their taxonomic composition. In this study, we evaluated the performance of three commonly used metagenome prediction tools (PICRUS...
