Abstract

Here we report a benchmark of the effect of bootstrap cut-off values of the RDP Classifier tool in terms of data retention along the different taxonomic ranks by using Illumina reads. Results provide guidelines for planning sequencing depths and selection of bootstrap cut-off in taxonomic assignments.

Keywords: 16S rRNA, metabarcoding, ribosomal database project, OTU clustering, bacterial communities.
