16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) is a component of the 30S subunit of prokaryotic ribosomes. 16S rRNA is approximately 1,542 nt in length and contains nine variable regions interspersed between conserved regions. Conserved sequence regions reflect the genetic relationship between biological species, while variable sequence regions reflect differences between species.
AXBIO's fourth-generation sequencing platform performs long-read with circular consensus correction of 16S rRNA, comprehensively covering the variable region and conserved region, and can accurately classify and identify species to the species level, helping scientists gain a deeper understanding Microbial community composition and its distribution and function.
