@e_hannula @MAnthony02 @PacBio First of all, I really appreciate both of your recommendations! I would be excited to read the paper to come out of this post.
What do you both recommend for mock communities? I have been using the AMPtk/SynMock community which doesn't work with ITSx https://t.co/fIuxNTJreS
For Journal Club today we discussed AMPtk (https://t.co/BqAbMeOGN1) by @jonpalmer2013 et al. Everyone loved it and said it was a comp bio paper they actually enjoyed reading! I've said it before, but I'll say it again - anyone interested in amplicon seq: read this paper!!
Just took a deep dive into the AMPtk paper. LOVE how they provide a comprehensive overview of the general analysis workflow, addressing specific pitfalls and eccentricities of Fungi. Exactly what I needed as a newbie! Amped to use AMPtk! Thank you!

@colinaverill Yeah, they're prob. more useful when standardized for cross-study & cross-run comparisons. We're gonna mix fungal strains based on Palmer. 2018 (below), but something that's QC'ed and purchasable may be better for consistency across labs. https://t.co/X1AR1CSfUa
Non-biological synthetic spike-in controls and the AMPtk software pipeline improve mycobiome data published as: https://t.co/Ji8N9V82GU @thePeerJ #biorxiv
@macmanes Cool. We found pretty much same result on WNS infected bats. I’d be highly skeptical of QIIME2 ability to accurately process ITS data. Full disclosure I’m the author. https://t.co/maUGbXJIWC.
