Bolivian Torch Crested ITS2 Sequence
The organism is the crested version of Echinopsis lageniformis. The amplicon was amplified using standard primers targeting the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of the ribosomal RNA gene cluster. The DNA was extracted from cactus tissue obtained from Kazumi-Nursery, and the amplicon was sequenced using a Nanopore sequencer.
