How to effectively use NGS in metagenomics and host-microbiome studies: Minimizing Bias in Microbiome Research

In microbiome research, each step of the process is critical in guaranteeing that you get accurate results. Unfortunately, it is easy to accidentally introduce sample bias that affects your downstream results, which may give a false picture of the make-up of your microbial community. Luckily, there are steps you can take to minimize this bias, allowing you to produce the most accurate results.
