I have 16s data (target: 96F 1492R) that was run on 454. The results are very good. I used ESpirit and mothur on the data to get Chao1 good's coverage and rarefaction graphs.
I was just wondering if any one of you knows of a publication/books which goes into details explaining why the distances 0.01, 0.03-0.05, 0.1 are very 'important' as diversity markers.
I deduced that 0.01 means that the OTUs are of the same species
0.03-0.05 are of the same family/genus
0.1 same phylum/class
But I can't find any clear cut study on those numbers.
thanks
