A restriction enzyme reduced representation sequencing approach for low-cost, high-throughput metagenome profiling

Compression efficiency of RE-RRS data as the percent of reads sampled decreases.
The compression efficiency of sequence data decreases when less than 5% of reads are sampled, with a sequencing depth that corresponds to 20 times the number of samples sequenced per lane. This number was consistent for both restriction enzymes (ApeKI and PstI) used for this study. Standard errors were 0.000 and are therefore not shown.
