Summary
Researchers developed the electronic Tree of Life (eToL), a tool that uses long RNA probes to identify and characterize the full range of microbes living in a sample from standard RNA-sequencing data. This method broadens the ability to study the microbiome — the community of microorganisms in a given environment — with potential uses in diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
This generic methodology is likely to find wide application in microbiome analysis including diagnostics.
