16s refers to a section of bacterial ribosomal RNA that is only present among bacterial species and is highly conserved. This conservation allows us to identify different species as in between the highly conserved regions of DNA, are sequences that are unique to each species.
This is also the case for Fungi with the 18s, 26s and ITs regions and these are used to identify individual species within this kingdom including moulds, yeasts and mushrooms. Once the ribosomal RNA of the fungi or bacteria has been sequenced, it is then put through a BLAST search to compare it to the DNA of known species. When there is a match, this means that the species in question has been successfully identified.
We guarantee the following parameters for your samples:
- For bacteria, sequencing results are guaranteed for 1300 base pairs of 16S rRNA.
- For fungi (filamentous fungi, yeast), sequencing results are guaranteed for 600 base pairs of ITS
rRNA and 1100 base pairs of ITS + 26S rRNA (D1/D2 region).
