identifying all genes present in microbiome samples tells you the differences in functional ability.
Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, bacteria can be identified at the species level, and distinguishing between closely related species can be made easier. This method is used by many clinical laboratories to find unknown pathogenic strains.
According to Clarridge (2004), the 16S rRNA gene encoding a ribosomal component has hypervariable regions scattered throughout its sequence and is highly conserved among bacteria. Each bacterial species has its own hypervariable areas that make it possible to categorize or classify the organism.
The outcomes are relative as opposed to outright in nature.16S rRNA sequencing may be biased as a result of different PCR amplification frequencies and insufficient reference databases used for sequence analysis. It does not establish correlations between causes and effects.
