Reference Gp60 sequences DB used in Gp60 amplicon sequencing uncovers the genotypic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. between water and sediment.

Recent research on riverbed sediment has revealed a high abundance of bacteria harboured in it, which can be resuspended and cause a large outbreak. However, the detection and molecular characterisation of pathogenic parasitic protozoa such as Cryptosporidium spp. in freshwater sediment are scarce. Therefore, this current study deciphered the prevalence, occurrence, genetic characterisation and diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in river water and its sediment.
Here is the reference Gp60 sequences used as database against the raw results submitted at PRJEB38993 (ERP122458)

近期对河床沉积物的研究揭示了其中蕴含着大量的细菌，这些细菌一旦被重新悬浮，便可能引发大规模的爆发。然而，在淡水沉积物中对病原性寄生虫原生动物如隐孢子虫属（Cryptosporidium spp.）的检测和分子表征研究却相对匮乏。因此，本研究旨在解析河水中及河床沉积物中隐孢子虫属的流行率、出现频率、遗传特征及其多样性。本研究采用了Gp60序列作为数据库，以应对PRJEB38993（ERP122458）中提交的原始结果。
