Figure 2: ITS Provides High Information Profiles Inclusive to the Species Level.
From: Microbial Typing by Machine Learned DNA Melt Signatures
(a) Representative 16S and ITS melt curves of seven (7) species of the Bacillus genus. (b) 16S and ITS composite melt curves of all 89 bacterial organisms in our library. (c) ITS melt curves from a single strain of B. anthracis, B. mycoides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. putida are compared to the their undistinguishable 16S counterparts. (d) ITS melt curves from two (2) strains of B. anthracis, 2 strains of Y. pestis, and five (5) strains of S. pneumoniae are used for the strain inclusivity test.
