Metagenomics or Metataxonomics: Best Practice Methods to Uncover the Sinus Microbiome
Read the guideline
Abstract
Long-read-metagenomic sequencing is the best method for analyzing the sinus microbiome. 16s-rRNA-sequencing (both long and short read) results in PCR amplification bias that significantly distorts the sinus microbiome.
