From: Sensitivity and correlation of hypervariable regions in 16S rRNA genes in phylogenetic analysis
Illustration of different variable regions. Red regions (V2, V8) have a poor phylogenetic resolution at the phylum level. Green regions (V4, V5, V6) are associated with the shortest geodesic distance, which suggests that they may be the best choice for phylogeny-related analyses and the phylogenetic analysis of novel bacterial phyla. The figure refers to the primer map from Lutzonilab (http://lutzonilab.org/16s-ribosomal-dna/). Use of this information was approved by the original authors of the website
