i-rDNA: alignment-free algorithm for rapid <it>in silico</it> detection of ribosomal gene fragments from metagenomic sequence data sets

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Obtaining accurate estimates of microbial diversity using rDNA profiling is the first step in most metagenomics projects. Consequently, most metagenomic projects spend considerable amounts of time, money and manpower for experimental...
