The allometry of cellular DNA and ribosomal gene content among microbes and its use for the assessment of microbiome community structure
Abstract Background The determination of taxon-specific composition of microbiomes by combining high-throughput sequencing of ribosomal genes with phyloinformatic analyses has become routine in microbiology and allied sciences. Systematic biases to this approach based on the demonstrable variability...
