Abstract

We present an open-source QIIME2 pipeline for 16S multi-amplicon sequencing. Benchmarked against proprietary software with a mock community, our workflow demonstrates comparable sequencing depth and taxonomic accuracy (F1-Score=0.875). The multi-region approach outperforms single amplicons, validating our pipeline as a robust alternative for semiconductor-based sequencing data.
