Functional genes to assess nitrogen cycling and aromatic hydrocarbon degradation: primers and processing matter

Targeting sequencing to genes involved in key environmental processes, i.e. ecofunctional genes, provides an opportunity to sample nature’s gene guilds to greater depth and help link community structure to process-level outcomes. Vastly different approaches have been implemented for sequence process...
