Re: [DIYbio] Support our citizen science project in the last hours of the campaign

FYI, from the indiegogo page:
"
Are you doing full metagenomic sequencing?

Full metagenomic sequencing is not ideal for citizen science because
it's more expensive and there are not enough completed medical studies
using it. We are doing what is called 16S sequencing. 16S is a
ribosomal gene present in bacterial DNA that makes it possible for us
to classify bacteria at the genus level and also filter out genetic
material from humans and other organisms. This is the same sequencing
method used in the bulk of past studies in this area, so it gives us
the greatest ability to compare with past studies, making your data
most relevant.
