Fingerprinting methods SSU rDNA: DGGE, TGGE, TTGE, SSCP and T-RFLP
Because of the effort required and the cost of cloning and sequencing of SSU rDNA
sequences of the microbial flora population, several fingerprinting methods have been
developed that appear ideal for investigating changes in microbial populations, for example
comparing different parts of the gastrointestinal tract of different animals.
