Title:
Towards Community Scale Microbial Single Cell Genomics
Abstract:
Microbial communities have been shown to have an impact on human health and the environment. Common approaches to study these systems include 16s ribosomal RNA and metagenomics which provide information on the identity and potential function of bacteria in an environment but linking the two remains difficult.
Here we show a gel droplet approach to amplify single cell genomes and integrate these cells with sequencing library preparation to maintain the link between bacterial identity and potential function.
