Info:
The authors present a restriction enzyme reduced representation sequencing (RE-RRS) method for metagenome profiling of livestock rumen microbial communities. The researchers correlate the profiles with methane production from the animals and compare results to previous 16S sequencing benchmarks.
Pippin Prep was used to size-select amplified sequences.
