16S Species Identification

︱Product Description    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 16S rRNA gene is a DNA sequence encoding the ribosomal small subunit RNA (16S rRNA) in prokaryotes, with a conserved length of approximately 1,540 base pairs present in all bacterial chromosomal genomes. The sequence contains nine hypervariable regions interspersed with ten conserved regions. The conserved areas reflect phylogenetic relationships among species, while the hypervariable segments provide discrimination at different taxonomic levels.

This method involves extracting DNA from environmental or biological samples, amplifying target regions of the 16S gene using universal primers, and analyzing sequence variations and abundance to investigate microbial community structure and diversity. It represents a fundamental approach in microbial ecology studies.
