The Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project 16S pyrotag survey of hydrocarbon resource environments
The Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project's 16S pyrotag survey of hydrocarbon resource environments
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: 926F and 1392R. See www.hydrocarbonmetagenomics.com for details. This research was supported by funding from Genome Canada, Genome Alberta, the Government of Alberta and Genome BC.
The goal of the Metagenomics for Greener Production and Extraction of Hydrocarbon Energy project's 16S pyrotag survey is to catalog and compare the microbial diversity present in a wide range of hydrocarbon resource environments. See www.hydrocarbonmetagenomics.com for details.
