Go to High levels of heterogeneity in diazotrophdiversity and activity within a putative hotspot for marinenitrogen fixation scientific paper and answer thesequestions
What does it mean to say a gene is a marker gene? What is themarker gene used for nitrogen fixation? What does this geneencode?
In one sentence, what is the purpose of this study.
The sequencing for this study was done using 454-pyrosequencing.This technology is not widely used anymore and a different platform(Illumina) is generally preferred. Name two drawbacks and onepotential benefit of using 454 over Illumina for sequencing.
What direct measurement of function did the authors pair withthe sequencing in this study?
Which OTU(s) from the DNA sequencing was/were most dominant ateach of the two sites during spring sampling events? How did thisobserved pattern change during the winter? Was this same patternreflected in the transcripts for the same gene? Include the figuresyou used to support your answers.
What were the major conclusions of the study? Did the authorsdiscuss any caveats that should be considered when assessing theirconclusions
