Summary

A new computer program, called Mallard, is presented for screening entire 16S rRNA gene libraries of up to 1,000 sequences for chimeras and other artifacts, which far exceed previous estimates of artifacts within public repositories and highlight the urgent need for all researchers to adequately screen their libraries prior to submission.
