16S rRNA sequencing is not the preferred method for analyzing bacteria on species level
16S rRNA sequencing is not the preferred method for analyzing bacteria on species level16S ribosomal RNA (or 16S rRNA) is the RNA component of the 30S small subunit of a prokaryotic ribosome (SSU rRNA).
Multiple sequences of the 16S rRNA gene can exist within a single bacterium
With third-generation sequencing coming to many labs, simultaneous identification of thousands of 16S rRNA sequences is possible within hours, allowing metagenomic studies, for example of [gut flora](brain://zRmUK0J9tkaKbN1o40IrBQ/GutMicrobi…
