A rarefaction curve is used to present relationship between number of OTUs and number of sequences. It can show species richness from sampling results.
-
If the curve reaches plateau, it means that with more sequences, the gain of newly discovered OTUs is limited. The sequencing depth may be sufficient.
-
If the curve still increases fast, it means the sequence depth are not enough and more species will be discovered with more sequencing efforts.
