  • Taxonomy tree conflicts in Greengenes V 13.5

    Hi all,
    I'm using the Lotus pipeline to investigate 16S stool samples. I assigned taxonomy with Greengenes, SILVA, HITdb , since greengenes was updated most recently, SILVA is the biggest database and the unassigned OTUs could then be classified by HITdb.
    I was not surprised, that tree conflicts occurred, but what was surprising was that greengenes itself (V 13.5 05/2019) included conflicting information, or how would you judge this:
    158718 k__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidetes; c__Bacteroidia; o__Bacteroidales; f__Prevotellaceae; g__Prevotella; s__

    186714 k__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidetes; c__Bacteroidia; o__Bacteroidales; f__[Paraprevotellaceae]; g__[Prevotella]; s__

    What does the parenthesis mean? Anyways, unfortunately, this results in one genus on different nodes, retrieved from one database!

    Looking much forward for a fruitful discussion with you.

    Cheers,
    Ulrike

    Greengenes hasn't actually been updated since 2013. Personally, I just wouldn't use it at all. Stick to Silva, RDP or GTDB if possible.

        I think they may have changed some minor things this year but not the entire database. 13-5 is the May 2013 release.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
