16S rRNA vs. Metagenomic Sequencing
When comparing 16S rRNA gene sequencing vs metagenomics, it's important to understand the distinct uses of each approach in microbial analysis. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing primarily targets the identification and classification of bacteria and archaea in a sample by analyzing just the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. This method is cost-effective and widely used for studying bacterial communities.
