data-physeq: The physeq data was modified from the (Data) Global patterns of 16S rRNA diversity at a depth of millions of sequences per sample (2011)
Description
Published in PNAS in early 2011. This work compared the microbial
communities from 25 environmental samples and three known ``mock communities''
-- a total of 9 sample types -- at a depth averaging 3.1 million reads per sample.
Authors were able to reproduce diversity patterns seen in many other
published studies, while also invesitigating technical issues/bias by
applying the same techniques to simulated microbial communities of known
Arguments
