Table 7.
16S alignment validation. Region(s) covered by 16S reads with exact matches to the SILVA database. The first column represents the region(s) called by our pipeline, while the third and fourth show the exact matching positions in the SILVA database. This shows consistency between the variable region called by our pipeline and the expected position it occupies along the 16S gene. SILVA IDs: B. fragilis: FQ312004.3243020.3244552; B. vulgatus: CP000139.2183533.2185042; F. nucleatum: AE009951.530422.531923; R. gnavus: AZJF01000012.178214.179732.
