16S 0.1 M reads/sample

16S NGS is a molecular biology technique used to analyze the microbial diversity of a sample by sequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. The 16S rRNA gene is present in all bacteria and archaea, and its sequence is highly conserved within specific taxonomic groups, making it a useful tool for identifying and classifying microbial species. 16S NGS involves the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to generate millions of short reads from the 16S rRNA gene of the microbial community present in the sample. The resulting sequence data can be analyzed to identify the different microbial species present and their relative abundance. 16S NGS has numerous applications in various fields of research, including microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, and clinical microbiology. It can be used to investigate the diversity and composition of microbial communities in different environments, such as soil, water, and the human gut microbiome. It can also be used to identify potential pathogens and monitor changes in the microbial community over time. 16S NGS can provide a more comprehensive and accurate analysis of microbial communities compared to traditional culture-based methods, which are limited to the detection of only a fraction of the total microbial species present in a sample. 16S NGS is a powerful tool for investigating the microbial diversity of different environments and its impact on various biological processes.
