- DADA2 is a denoising sequence inference pipeline, QIIME is an open-reference clustering pipeline, and Mothur is a de novo clustering pipeline. NTC samples (no template controls) were excluded from summary statistics. Sparsity is the proportion of 0’s in the count table. Features is the total number of OTUs (QIIME and Mothur) or SVs (DADA2) in the count tables. Sample coverage is the median and range (minimum-maximum) per sample total abundance. Drop-out rate is the proportion of reads removed while processing the sequencing data for each bioinformatic pipeline
