The rate of substitution differences between DADA2-denoised ASVs and the next closest ASV that are in conserved vs. variable regions of the 16S gene, in LoopSeq data from three human fecal samples. If substitution patterns were random (as would be expected if they were caused by sequencing errors) then points should fall along the gray line of equal rates
