Reduced metagenome sequencing for strain-resolution taxonomic profiles

Abstract Background Studies of shifts in microbial community composition has many applications. For studies at species or subspecies levels, the 16S amplicon sequencing lacks resolution and is often replaced by full shotgun sequencing. Due to higher costs, this restricts the number of samples sequen...
