Identification and quantification of abundant species from pyrosequences of 16S rRNA by consensus alignment

Abstract: 16S rRNA gene profiling has recently been boosted by the development of pyrosequencing methods. A common analysis is to group pyrosequences into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs), such that ...

Characterizing Modern Microbialites and The Geobiological Processes Underlying Their Formation

Microbialites represent one of the oldest known ecosystems on Earth, with a fossil record dating back 3.7 billion years. These long-lived communities form sedimentary structures as a result of the ...
