Prokaryotic profiling:Species quantification • Imagine the following research questions • Which (known) species/groups are present in a certain sample • Does this composition alter given a certain treatment, change of conditions, patients etc. • No need for de novo genome sequencing • No metagenomics: species instead of functions
Prokaryotic profiling:Species quantification • Prokaryotes have the gene 16S rDNA, coding for ribosomal RNA • The 16S rDNA region is 1.5 kb long • 16S rDNA is specific for each species/strain • Theoretical: 41,500= 10903 possibilities • In practice: 16S rDNA sequence known for millions of species
