Fungal microbiota of bovine feces and soil samples derived from an alpine pasture
High throughput sequencing of the ITS marker region is widely used in fungal ecology. There are various bioinformatic pipelines for data processing available, however, possibly producing slightly different results. In the current study, we compared the performance of commonly used bioinformatic pipelines on fungal metabarcoding data, derived from two different environmental sample types (bovine feces and soil) and analyzed in 18 technical replicates and 9-10 biological replicates, respectively.
