Incorporating 16S Gene Copy Number Information Improves Estimates of Microbial Diversity and Abundance
The abundance of different SSU rRNA (“16S”) gene sequences in environmental samples is widely used in studies of microbial ecology as a measure of microbial community structure and diversity. However, the genomic copy number of the 16S gene varies greatly – from one in many species to up to 15 in so...
