Estimating the bacterial composition of the simulated datasets. (A) Genus level and (B) species level profiling. Simulated datasets with four different abundance models were analyzed using the proposed 16S rRNA classification pipeline. The names of the species that were contained in the simulated datasets were re-annotated according to the homologous species groups of the V3–V4 hypervariable region to compare the results.
