Chloroplast sequence variation and the efficacy of peptide nucleic acids for blocking host amplification in plant microbiome studies
Published 2018-08-01“…Results Using the universal PNA clamps, we amplified and sequenced root microbial communities from replicate individuals of 32 plant species with a most recent common ancestor inferred at 140 MYA. We found the average rate of host plastid contamination across plant species was 23%, however, particular lineages exhibited much higher rates (62–94%), with the highest levels of contamination occurring in the Asteraceae. …”
