New Phylum Level Primer Sets for DGGE Analysis

- IMMEDIATE LINK TO GUIDE -

A manuscript (Muhling et al. 2008) entitled "Improved group-specific PCR primers for
denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the genetic diversity of complex microbial communities" was just was published online-early at the ISME journal website. This looks to be a promising development for the field with primers sets targeting Alpha, Beta, and Gamma-proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, and Cyanobacteria.

Enjoy,
