16S Metagenomics Studies with the MiSeq® System

Following the complete Illumina workflow, 16S metagenomics studies with the MiSeq® System can achieve species-level identification of microbial populations efficiently. By combining the demonstrated Illumina library preparation protocol, the MiSeq System, and simple analysis software, researchers can analyze complex microbial sample quickly and easily. This application note provides an overview of the Illumina 16S metagenomics workflow and the results of a study that examined microbial populations in a water reservoir.
