In-Silico Evaluation and Selection of the Best 16S rRNA Gene Primers for Use in Next-Generation Sequencing to Detect Oral Bacteria and Archaea.

Abstract: Background: Sequencing has been widely used to study the composition of the oral microbiome present in various health conditions. The extent of the coverage of the 16S rRNA gene primers employed for this purpose has not, however, been evaluated in silico using oral-specific databases. This paper analyses these primers using two databases containing 16S rRNA sequences from bacteria and archaea found in the human mouth and describes some of the best primers for each domain. Results: A total of 369 distinct indiv… Show more

“…We selected the primer pairs with the best in silico coverage values, as identified in previous research by our group, as well as those used most in the oral-microbiome literature (20). This left us with 33 and 6 primer pairs, respectively, for this stage of the study, which were classified according to the average length of the amplicons into: short primer pairs (100-300 bps), medium primer pairs (301-600 bps), and large primer pairs (>600 bps) (20) (Additional files 3 and 4).…”
