Determining the most accurate 16S rRNA hypervariable region for taxonomic identification from respiratory samples Open
16S rRNA gene profiling, which contains nine hypervariable regions (V1–V9), is the gold standard for identifying taxonomic units by high-throughput sequencing. Microbiome studies combine two or more region sequences (usually V3–V4) to incr…
