Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015 Microbial diversity studies based on metagenomic sequencing have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the microbial world. However, one caveat is the fact that not all microorganisms are equally well detected, questioning the universality of this approach ...
