Accurate and fast estimation of taxonomic profiles from metagenomic shotgun sequences

BACKGROUND: A major goal of metagenomics is to characterize the microbial composition of an environment. The most popular approach relies on 16S rRNA sequencing, however this approach can generate biased estimates due to differences in the copy number of the gene between even closely related organis...
