CopyRighter: a rapid tool for improving the accuracy of microbial community profiles through lineage-specific gene copy number correction

BACKGROUND: Culture-independent molecular surveys targeting conserved marker genes, most notably 16S rRNA, to assess microbial diversity remain semi-quantitative due to variations in the number of gene copies between species. RESULTS: Based on 2,900 sequenced reference genomes, we show that 16S rRNA...
