Computer Scientists from Rice University Develop a Software ‘Emu’ for Accurate Microbial Community Profiling
Emu, an approach that uses an expectation-maximization algorithm to generate taxonomic abundance profiles from full-length 16S rRNA reads profiles microbial populations using common genes. According to results generated from simulated datasets and mock communities, Emu is capable of accurate microbial community profiling while obtaining fewer false positives and false negatives than alternative approaches, When determining…
