16S rRNA sequencing
16S rRNA sequencing
ribosomal RNA sequencing (rRNA seq) is used to identify and compare bacteria or fungi present within a given sample. The 16S rRNA gene has been a mainstay of sequence-based bacterial analysis for decades.
Variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene are frequently used for phylogenetic classification of genus or species in diverse microbial populations.
