Large-scale differences in microbial biodiversity discovery between 16S amplicon and shotgun sequencing
Abstract Modern metagenomic environmental DNA studies are almost completely reliant on next-generation sequencing, making evaluations of these methods critical. We compare two next-generation sequencing techniques – amplicon and shotgun – on water samples across four of Brazil’s major river floodpla...
