Abstract

We quantitatively demonstrated that the rRNA operon outperformed the 16S rRNA and its V3-V4 regions in accuracy for both individual species identification and species-level microbial community analysis. Our findings can provide guidelines for selecting appropriate markers in the field of microbial research.
