Inference based PICRUSt accuracy varies across sample types and functional categories

2019-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> 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, and PICRUSt is the most widely used of these techniques. In this study, we evaluated the performance of PICRUSt by compar...
