Stability of operational taxonomic units: an important but neglected property for analyzing microbial diversity

BACKGROUND: The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) is widely used in microbial ecology. Reproducibility in microbial ecology research depends on the reliability of OTU-based 16S ribosomal subunit RNA (rRNA) analyses. RESULTS: Here, we report that many hierarchical and greedy clustering methods produce...
