title = "Bacterial population assay via k-mer analysis extended abstract",
abstract = "Identifying and assaying the relative abundance of members of complex microbial communities is an important problem in ecology. Sandberg et al. 11 investigated the usage of genomic signatures to provide high identification percentages from short sequence samples. In this paper we present an improved naive Bayesian classification method using conditional probabilities, which can be used to classify unsequenced bacterial species, as well as identify and predict the frequency of the dominant species in mixed microbial populations.",
