SRP005638 The Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project’s 16S pyrotag survey of hydrocarbon resource environments (Different bead beating times for DNA extraction Experiment) The Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project’s 16S pyrotag survey of hydrocarbon resource environments (Different bead beating times for DNA extraction Experiment) The goal of the Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project’s 16S pyrotag survey is to catalogue and compare the microbial diversity present in a wide range of hydrocarbon resource environments. See www.hydrocarbonmetagenomics.com for details. Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy The Genome Canada funded Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project is using titanium pyrosequencing of the 16S gene (pyrotag sequencing) to identify the microbial community structure of a wide range of hydrocarbon resource environments. The survey is using the universal primers: 926wF and 1392R. See www.hydrocarbonmetagenomics.com for details.
