	Description:		Michael Tessler and Christopher Mason join me to talk about their comparison of 16S amplicon sequencing and shotgun sequencing for quantifying microbial diversity. Links: The 2017 Nature paper that we discuss: Large-scale differences in microbial biodiversity discovery between 16S amplicon and shotgun sequencing Michael’s et al. 2016 paper that describes their original 16S study: A Global eDNA Comparison of Freshwater Bacterioplankton Assemblages Focusing on Large-River Floodplain Lakes of Brazil The sequencing data for these studies is available from NCBI: PRJNA310230 (16S), PRJNA389803 (shotgun) Michael’s website Christopher’s lab website The Integrative Biology & Medicine conference, featuring the talk on Postmodern Synthesis by Eugene Koonin
