16S rRNA gene primer choice impacts off-target amplification in human gastrointestinal tract biopsies and microbiome profiling
3 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
16S rRNA amplicon sequencing or, more recently, metatranscriptomic analysis are currently the only preferred methods for microbial profiling of samples containing a predominant ratio of human to bacterial DNA. However, due to the off-target amplification of human DNA, current protocols are inadequate for bioptic samples. Here we present an efficient, reliable, and affordable method for the bacteriome analysis of...
