This technique allows for a comprehensive understanding of microbial communities, providing insights into their composition and functional potential. This article outlines best practices for the bioinformatics analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing, emphasizing the critical stages of data preprocessing and quantification. ...
Taxa summaries can be employed to depict the relative abundance of different taxa across a set of samples. This visual representation not only aids in identifying outlier samples—those that significantly differ from the rest—but also facilitates the comparison of microbial communities across different conditions or treatments. ...
Beta (β) diversity to compare microbiomes Beta (β) diversity measures the difference in bacterial community composition for different samples. Before quantifying β diversity, the read counts (reads mapped to each taxon) must be normalized to minimize the technical variability between samples. ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate water quality and daily cumulative health effects (gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory illnesses) for bathers at a non-point source subtropical marine recreational beach in order to better understand the inter-relationships between these factors and hence improve monitoring and pollution prevention techniques. Daily composite ...
