CONSIDERATIONS FOR OPTIMIZING MICROBIOME ANALYSIS USING A MARKER GENE

Next generation sequencing technologies have found a widespread use in the study of host–microbe interactions due to the increase in their throughput and their ever-decreasing costs. The analysis of human-associated microbial communities using a marker gene, particularly the 16S rRNA, has greatly be...
