Comparison of bacterial 16S rRNA variable regions for microbiomesurveys of ticks
https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ttbdis.2017.02.002 Abstract Ticks vector diverse pathogenic bacteria that are important to identify in public health and veterinary contexts. Technological advances in high throughput sequencing have given an unprecedented opportunity to comprehensively characterize bacterial associates of ticks, but recent studies have used different 16S rRNA variable regions and sequence read lengths with little consideration of…
