It was developed in +collaboration with Brian Haas, Jose Carlos Clemente, Chris Quince and Rob +Knight. Chimeras are commonly created during DNA sample amplification by +PCR, especially in community sequencing experiments using single regions +such as the 16S rRNA gene in bacteria or the fungal ITS region. UCHIME can +detect chimeras using a reference database or de novo using abundance +information on the assumption that chimeras are less abundant than their +parents because they must have undergone fewer rounds of amplification. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
