Next Generation Sequencing techniques are currently used in microbial profiling and other studies. Between the NGS (specifically Illumina Miseq Technique) and PLFA, which is the best method to employ in microbial studies? What are the pros/cons of either?
Or, besides the two, what is the other best method to employ in microbial studies?
Its not a versus question, the application of both method are specific and different from each other. Furthermore, it depends on you aim for the technique you want to employ, and there are numerous aim specific methods which are used for the microbial studies. Again, what microbes? Its also an important question before thinking about any technique.
