Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism data analysis for quantitative comparison of microbial communities.
Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) is a culture-independent method of obtaining a genetic fingerprint of the composition of a microbial community. Comparisons of the utility of different methods of (i) including peaks, (ii) computing the difference (or distance) between profiles, and (iii) performing statistical analysis were made by using replicated profiles of eubacter...
متن کاملRestriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique in which organisms may be differentiated by analysis of patterns derived from cleavage of their DNA. If two organisms differ in the distance between sites of cleavage of a particular restriction endonuclease, the length of the fragments produced will differ when the DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme. The similarity of the pa...
متن کاملREPK: an analytical web server to select restriction endonucleases for terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis is a widespread technique for rapidly fingerprinting microbial communities. Users of T-RFLP frequently overlook the resolving power of well-chosen restriction endonucleases and often fail to report how they chose their enzymes. REPK (Restriction Endonuclease Picker) assists in the rational choice of restriction endonucleases fo...
متن کاملTerminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis program, a web-based research tool for microbial community analysis.
Rapid analysis of microbial communities has proven to be a difficult task. This is due, in part, to both the tremendous diversity of the microbial world and the high complexity of many microbial communities. Several techniques for community analysis have emerged over the past decade, and most take advantage of the molecular phylogeny derived from 16S rRNA comparative sequence analysis. We descr...
متن کاملTilting at windmills: a response to a recent critique of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism data.
Blackwood et al. (1) assert that terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) data cannot be used to estimate the species level diversity of bacterial communities. While I do not argue with their analytical techniques, nor the interpretation of their results, their conclusion is essentially moot as T-RFLP techniques are rarely used (nor should they be used) to study the diversity ...
