Abstract excerpt
Information on genetic diversity of picoeukaryotes (<2-3 microm) comes mainly from traditional gene cloning and sequencing, but this method suffers from cloning biases and limited throughput. In this study, we explored the feasibility of using the cloning-independent and massively parallel 454 pyrosequencing technology to study the composition and genetic diversity of picoeukaryotes in the coastal waters of the...
