This study compares short-read and long-read sequencing of 18S rRNA gene amplicons in river biofilms, showing that long-read sequencing improves taxonomic resolution while trimming can introduce mismatches.

This study compares Illumina short-read and PacBio long-read sequencing for microbial diversity in river biofilms, finding that PacBio provides higher taxonomic resolution while both methods yield similar community structures.
