Qualitatively the results confirm the behaviours of the three pipelines observed on the simulated datasets. Results are shown in Figure 3a and 3b for the 16S-10 and ITS-10 datasets respectively, where the horizontal lines indicates the median over the replicated datasets and the dashed lines indicates the real values. To assess this point, we have repeated the analysis skipping the filtering step for MICCA and UPARSE. Given a sequence, a maximum parsimony model is found using UPARSE-REF and the read can be assigned to a known OTU, marked as chimeric (and therefore discarded) or become a new centroid.

The use of greedy clustering algorithms, while being capable to quickly analyse large datasets, might lead to a definition of OTUs that overestimates the number of different species actually present in the sample. Analysis of public metagenomic datasets shows that the higher consistency of results improves our understanding of the structure of environmental and human associated microbial communities. While the performances obtained by MICCA and QIIME are very close, UPARSE obtained the worst results in terms of number of chimeric reads retained on both 16S-10 and ITS-10 datasets (15.

Analysis of the antibiotic treatments study highlights the advantages of using MICCA in term of the higher number of sequences used and more consistent estimates of the number of OTUs across replicates. To overcome these limitations we tested our pipeline on simulated data where the OTU composition was known, showing that MICCA improves over the existing software. My line drawings on a flat surface become the source of imagination for viewers who live in reality. Please note, each ensemble can have 4 free admissions into the festival for chaperones and each bus driver is also given free admission. The analysis of an environmental dataset and a gut dataset puts MICCA to the test of two of the most common applications of metagenomics.

To take into account possible biases introduced by the choice of the amplified region, we have selected datasets where the V1-V3, V3-V5 and V6-V9 hypervariable regions of the bacterial 16S gene have been amplified and sequenced. To cluster sequences into OTUs, QIIME uses UCLUST 3, a heuristic recursive algorithm that first identifies the centroid of the OTU based on its abundance and then includes in the OTU all sequences having sequence identity above a prefixed threshold with the centroid. The hole in the midrange and the screeching highs are testament to that and stumbling on a track that they fall apart on, about half of my regular line up, gives the audible effect of being shrunken. In Supplementary Table S2 we also report the Shannon diversity index, a popular ecological measure used to estimate the complexity of microbial populations from metagenomic data, to highlight the effects of the more accurate estimation of the OTUs.In this way UPARSE and MICCA, using abundance information in the clustering step, are able to provide estimates of the number of OTUs that are less dependent on sequencing depth, thus allowing to attain a good description of metagenomic samples with lower sequencing depth than needed by QIIIME and mothur. A more accurate approach for the choice of the centroid is implemented in the UPARSE and MICCA pipelines, starting the clustering process from the most abundant reads individuated after the dereplication step.
