Comparison of long and short 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing for agricultural soil and grain microbiomes using custom Kinnex libraries
Bacteria are an important component of environmental microbiomes, contributing to animal, plant, and soil health. The 16S rRNA gene is used as a barcode for taxonomic classification of bacteria and analysis of bacterial diversity in environmental samples. The 16S barcode region is ~1,500 bp and has nine hypervariable...
