mockrobiota: a Public Resource for Microbiome Bioinformatics Benchmarking

ABSTRACT Mock communities are an important tool for validating, optimizing, and comparing bioinformatics methods for microbial community analysis. We present mockrobiota, a public resource for sharing, validating, and documenting mock community data resources, available at http://caporaso-lab.github...
