Long vs. short read sequencing for microbial ecology of sedimentary environments: a case study from Lake Arnon, Switzerland

Camille Thomas, Aliisa Laakkonen, Deborah R. Rast, Gaetan Sauter, Katrina Kremer, Max Shore, Hendrik Vogel

This study compares long-read and short-read 16S rRNA sequencing for microbial community analysis in sedimentary environments, finding long-reads offer better taxonomic resolution and capture rare taxa.
