Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms allow many DNA sequences to be obtained at extremely low-cost per read, sequencing PCR amplicons via NGS remains overly expensive and inflexible. NG
The bacterial diversity of the ice core samples retrieved from the three glaciers of West Sikkim viz. Frey-Peak, Rathong, and Kabru Glacier were studied using 16SrRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The ice
