TL;DR: A meta-analysis of microbial community samples collected by hundreds of researchers for the Earth Microbiome Project is presented, creating both a reference database giving global context to DNA sequence data and a framework for incorporating data from future studies, fostering increasingly complete characterization of Earth’s microbial diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A novel sub-operational-taxonomic-unit (sOTU) approach that uses error profiles to obtain putative error-free sequences from Illumina MiSeq and HiSeq sequencing platforms, Deblur, which substantially reduces computational demands relative to similar sOTU methods and does so with similar or better sensitivity and specificity.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent findings that suggest that operational taxonomic unit-based analyses should be replaced with new methods that are based on exact sequence variants, methods for integrating metagenomic and metabolomic data, and issues surrounding compositional data analysis.
