A heritability-based comparison of methods used to cluster 16S rRNA gene sequences into operational taxonomic units
A variety of methods are available to collapse 16S rRNA gene sequencing reads to the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) used in microbiome analyses. A number of studies have aimed to compare the quality of the resulting OTUs. However, in the absence of a standard method to define and enumerate the different taxa within a microbial community, existing comparisons have been unable to compare the ...
متن کاملDe novo clustering methods outperform reference-based methods for assigning 16S rRNA gene sequences to operational taxonomic units
Background. 16S rRNA gene sequences are routinely assigned to operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that are then used to analyze complex microbial communities. A number of methods have been employed to carry out the assignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences to OTUs leading to confusion over which method is optimal. A recent study suggested that a clustering method should be selected based on its abil...
متن کاملAssessing and improving methods used in operational taxonomic unit-based approaches for 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
In spite of technical advances that have provided increases in orders of magnitude in sequencing coverage, microbial ecologists still grapple with how to interpret the genetic diversity represented by the 16S rRNA gene. Two widely used approaches put sequences into bins based on either their similarity to reference sequences (i.e., phylotyping) or their similarity to other sequences in the comm...
متن کاملDelimiting operational taxonomic units for assessing ciliate environmental diversity using small-subunit rRNA gene sequences.
Delineating operational taxonomic units (OTUs) is a central element in any culture-independent analysis of environmental microbial eukaryotic diversity. Previous studies either have not justified their choice in sequence distance used to bin small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences amplified from environmental samples into OTUs, or have used a value based on the average across a br...
متن کاملGenetic variations of avian Pasteurella multocida as demonstrated by 16S-23S rRNA gene sequences comparison
Pasteurella multocida is known as an important heterogenic bacterial agent causes some severe diseases such as fowl cholera in poultry and haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffalo. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed using primers derived from conserved part of 16S-23S rRNA gene. The PCR amplified a fragment size of 0.7 kb using DNA from nine avian P. multocida isolates...
