We then applied these corrections to a published urinary microbiome dataset to show that the use of one of these packages has a measurable effect on the final results of human urinary microbiome studies. 000043710 540__ $$fNo License 000043710 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000043710 650__ $$aRNA, Ribosomal, 16S$$025549 000043710 650__ $$aGenes, rRNA$$032445 000043710 650__ $$aMicrobiota$$040384 000043710 6531_ $$amicrobiome profiling 000043710 6531_ $$a16S rRNA 000043710 6531_ $$agene copy number correction 000043710 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000043710 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000043710 7001_ $$aShah, Rebecca$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043710 7001_ $$aKarstens, Lisa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043710 8564_ $$904887a72-a6eb-4477-9c03-601e2ece3f9e$$s757890$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43710/files/Shah.Karstens.2024.pdf 000043710 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:43710$$pstudent-work 000043710 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000043710 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-09-20
