In particular, we propose an updated version of Kaiju, which combines the power of shotgun metagenomics data with a more focused marker gene classification method, similar to 16S rRNA, but based on core protein domain families (40, 41, 42, 43) from the PFAM database (44) . As shown in (27) , where different amplicon sequencing methods are tested on both simulated and real data and the results are compared to those obtained with metagenomic pipelines, the whole genome approach resulted to outperform the previous ones in terms of both number of identified strains, taxonomic and functional resolution and reliability on estimates of microbial relative abundance distribution in samples. ./cache/cord-102749-tgka0pl0.txt ./txt/cord-102749-tgka0pl0.txt
