Description
Summary:A new high throughput sequencing approach targeting the heat shock protein (hsp60) as a phylogenetic marker was developed to more precisely discriminate members of the Vibrio genus in environmental samples. There is a need for an accurate high throughput assay for defining Vibrio community composition in natural samples and this Vibrio-centric hsp60 sequencing assay offers the potential for precise high throughput characterisation of Vibrio diversity, providing an enhanced platform for dissecting Vibrio dynamics in the environment.
