Hi,

I want to know how efficient are the new metagenomic content prediction tools such as PICRUSt and Piphillin in predicting functions and dynamics ( such as the presence of other genes) using marker gene data (16s, 18s )? I know these tools can never match the real metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics or metabolomics analysis but how good can be these tools to get rough but correct peek into the microbial genomics complexities?
