Figure 1From: Accurate and fast estimation of taxonomic profiles from metagenomic shotgun sequencesEstimating taxonomic profiles using 16S rRNA targeted sequencing or metagenome shotgun sequencing. Figure1a shows that the taxonomic profile estimated from 16S rRNA targeted sequencing is biased because of copy number variation. Figure 1b shows that classification of whole-metagenome shotgun sequences may produce biased estimation because of the variations in genome size.Back to article page
