Phylogenetic Probes for Quanitifcation of Stable Isotope Labeling and Microbial Community Analysis IB-2774A
ABSTRACT: A high-sensitivity means to measure the incorporation of stable isotope labeled substrates into RNA following stable isotope probing experiments (SIP). RNA is hybridized to a set of probes such as phylogenetic microarrays and isotope incorporation is quantified such as by secondary ion mass spectrometer imaging (NanoSIMS). The technology can track the update of … [Read more...] about Phylogenetic Probes for Quanitifcation of Stable Isotope Labeling and Microbial Community Analysis IB-2774A
