Interpreting phylogenetic placements for taxonomic assignment of environmental DNA

Abstract: Taxonomic assignment of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) is an important bioinformatics step in analyzing environmental sequencing data. Pairwise alignment and phylogenetic‐placement methods represent two alternative approaches to taxonomic assignments, but their results can differ. Here we used available colpodean ciliate OTUs from forest soils to compare the taxonomic assignments of VSEARCH (which performs pairwise alignments) and EPA‐ng (which performs phylogenetic placements). We showed that when there a… Show more
