Amplicones o Metagenómica. En el estudio de la diversidad microbiana

Amplicones o Metagenómica. En el estudio de la diversidad microbiana actualmente se utiliza la amplificación y secuenciación masiva de genes marcadores como el 16S rRNA, cuya comparación y análisis da lugar a árboles filogenéticos y un inventario de Unidades Taxonómicas Operativas (OTUs). En la metagenómica total se secuencia el total del DNA de una comunidad. Con la metagenómica…
