Workflow overview of the comparative analysis between Illumina and PacBio sequencing presented in the current manuscript. The variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene are represented as grey quadrangles (V1-V9). Primers used for DNA amplification in Illumina and PacBio are shown using dark and light blue arrows, respectively. The size of the amplified fragment in Illumina and PacBio is represented using a dark and light blue line, respectively
