Michael Tessler
and
Christopher Mason
join me to talk about their comparison of
16S amplicon sequencing and
shotgun sequencing for quantifying microbial diversity.

Michael’s et al. 2016 paper that describes their original 16S study: A Global eDNA Comparison of Freshwater Bacterioplankton Assemblages Focusing on Large-River Floodplain Lakes of Brazil
The sequencing data for these studies is available from NCBI:
PRJNA310230
(16S),
PRJNA389803
