Algorithm for post-clustering curation of DNA amplicon data yields reliable biodiversity estimates

A central problem in biodiversity estimation from genetic markers is the ability of algorithms to retain ‘true’ species while discarding artefacts. Here, the authors present a new post-clusturing curation algorithm using OTU co-occurrences to estimate plant biodiversity from soil samples.
