Considerations For Optimizing Microbiome Analysis Using a Marker Gene

Abstract excerpt

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 been greatly benefited from these technologies - the human gut microbiome research being a remarkable example of such analysis...
