16S rDNA Amplicon Sequencing of Mock Microbial Community Standards

Sequencing the bacterial 16S rRNA gene is an established technique for assessing the phylogenetic diversity of microbial communities. This white paper discusses the methods and process to elucidate that Frontage’s QIIME2 analysis pipeline accurately estimates the composition of microbiome samples, as shown by the similarity to the theoretical abundance.
