5R package  A software package accompanying a novel method of bacterial 16S rRNA profiling based on the 5R protocol. Five short regions along the 16S rRNA are amplified in multiplex and subsequently sequenced by an Illumina machine. Resulting reads from these regions are combined into a coherent solution using our Short MUltiple Regions Framework (SMURF) algorithm (Fuks et al. 2018).
