From our #Bioinformatics and #Genomics Section: Accuracy of taxonomy prediction for 16S rRNA and fungal ITS sequences https://t.co/QbHrB3fpnf https://t.co/aXv8vpcPzB
One of our most viewed PeerJ articles of 2018 in the Bioinformatics and Genomics Section:
Accuracy of taxonomy prediction for 16S rRNA and fungal ITS sequences https://t.co/QbHrB3fpnf

@GeoffZahn Robert Edgar's latest is a longish read, but fairly comprehensive: https://t.co/h1WE3BQcft
In short, he finds that there doesn't seem to have been meaningful accuracy gains over the RDP classifier for short-read 16S.
