Controlling for Contaminants in Low-Biomass 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing Experiments

Microbial communities are commonly studied using culture-independent methods, such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing. However, one challenge in accurately characterizing microbial communities is exogenous bacterial DNA contamination, particularly in low-microbial-biomass niches. Computational approaches t...
