Parasitology
16S rRNA sequencing is a molecular biology technique used to identify and compare bacteria by analyzing the genetic material that encodes the 16S ribosomal RNA, a component of the ribosome. This technique is crucial for studying microbial communities, particularly in understanding how parasites interact with their microbiome, as it helps reveal the diversity and composition of microbial populations in various environments, including those influenced by parasitic infections.
congrats on reading the definition of 16s rrna sequencing. now let's actually learn it.
