Combining 16S rRNA gene variable regions enables high-resolution microbial community profiling

Abstract Background Most of our knowledge about the remarkable microbial diversity on Earth comes from sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. The use of next-generation sequencing methods has increased sample number and sequencing depth, but the read length of the most widely used sequencing platforms today...
