If so, you are probably considering whether to conduct 16S rRNA gene sequencing or shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Although 16S rRNA gene sequencing has been more commonly used for microbiome studies to date, shotgun metagenomics is becoming more accessible and popular in microbiome research. However, each method has its pros and cons which should be considered before you decide which sequencing method to use. Here is your one-stop guide to 16S rRNA gene sequencing vs shotgun sequencing to help you generate the best data for your research.
