UCHIME is a new algorithm for detecting chimeric sequences. It was developed in
|
|
collaboration with Brian Haas, Jose Carlos Clemente, Chris Quince and Rob
|
|
Knight. Chimeras are commonly created during DNA sample amplification by
|
|
PCR, especially in community sequencing experiments using single regions
|
|
such as the 16S rRNA gene in bacteria or the fungal ITS region. UCHIME can
|
|
detect chimeras using a reference database or de novo using abundance
|
|
information on the assumption that chimeras are less abundant than their
|
|
parents because they must have undergone fewer rounds of amplification.
