Let's say I did 357F-518R PCR for the 16S gene in a mixed microbiome sample, did DGGE, and sequenced each band, such that I now have the 357-518 bp sequences for a few bacteria of interest. Is there a way to use this sequence data to design primers and get the missing 1-357 and 518-1500 regions of the gene? Something like RACE-PCR but for 16S?
