Characterising the Canine Oral Microbiome by Direct Sequencing of Reverse-Transcribed rRNA Molecules

Abstract: PCR amplification and sequencing of phylogenetic markers, primarily Small Sub-Unit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes, has been the paradigm for defining the taxonomic composition of microbiomes. However, ‘universal’ SSU rRNA gene PCR primer sets are likely to miss much of the diversity therein. We sequenced a library comprising purified and reverse-transcribed SSU rRNA (RT-SSU rRNA) molecules from the canine oral microbiome and compared it to a general bacterial 16S rRNA gene PCR amplicon library generated from t… Show more

“…Since the first use of next-generation sequencing in metatranscriptomics, the use of RNA-seq approaches has provided insights into the function of microorganisms in diverse environmental samples. However, for RNA-seq analyses, a high input quantity (>100 ng) of purified RNA is usually required [ 15 , 16 , 33 , 34 ], while SSU rRNA enriched method requires even higher amounts [ 11 , 20 ]. Because adaptor ligation generally occurs after random-primed double-stranded cDNA synthesis in standard protocols [ 35 ], contaminated DNA should be removed before library preparation.…”

“…The limitation for microbial population analysis that rely on the SSU rRNA-based sequence method is the difficulty in obtaining high quantities of enriched SSU rRNA from various environmental samples [ 11 ]. The total NA method was applied to different environmental samples with relatively low contents of total RNA ( S2 Table ) without DNase I treatment.…”
