LP129566-8 Bacteria identified based on 16S rRNA gene
Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is commonly used for taxonomic classification and identification of bacteria. The 16S gene is approximately 1500bp long and is universal in bacteria, allowing its relationships to be measured among all bacteria. Because it is universal among all bacteria, detection of 16S RNA can also be used to estimate bacterial load. The 16S sequence has a role in identifying bacteria that are atypical or rare that are unable to be identified by phenotypic tests alone. In general there is not enough variation in 16S sequence for its use in distinguishing strains for epidemiological purposes.

LP150045-5 Sequencing
Sequencing is a method used to determine the sequence of individual genes, larger genetic regions (i.e. clusters of genes or operons), full chromosomes or entire genomes. Historically, most sequencing has been performed using the chain termination method developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977. PMID: 271968 Sequencing technologies have improved dramatically, making them cheaper, faster, and more accurate. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, deep sequencing, and second-generation sequencing, is a type of technology that uses parallel sequencing of multiple small fragments of DNA to determine sequence. This "high-throughput" technology has increased the speed and amount of DNA sequenced at a significantly reduced cost. PMID: 18576944 Several NGS platforms (ie, sequencing instruments and associated reagents) have been developed. Third-generation sequencing is another methodology currently under development that uses parallel sequencing similar to NGS. In contrast to NGS, third-generation sequencing uses single DNA molecules rather than amplified DNA as a template. PMID: 20858600
