When we discussed microbiome analysis, we used a popular example in which you perform PCR using primers specific to a region of the 16S rRNA.  This means that bacteria and archaea sequences will be represented in the PCR product and can be taxonomically assigned after deep sequencing, while eukaryotes will be excluded from the analysis.     True  False

Genetic analysis

Genetic analysis refers to the process of studying and analyzing changes in chromosomes or genes using different methods in scientific fields such as genetics and molecular biology. It involves the localization and identification of genes and the detection of inherited or genetic disorders caused by mutations or other abnormal variations in our genome.
