With detail, compare and contrast the following 5 real-time assays; Taqman, SYBR Green, Molecular Beacon, FRET, and Scorpion. Please write complete sentences in paragraph form. Identify how the assays are similar but more importantly, what are the distinguishing features of each of the technologies.
How can single-cell genomics be used to addressmicrobial dark matter?
Metagenomics has revolutionized our understanding of the microbial world by allowing the study of organisms that had been impossible to
culture. Understanding the Lokiarchaeota required metagenomics analysis, which has also led to the identification of the eukaryotic signature
genes in other environments. The terms below relate to genes and genetic analysis. Drag each term to the correct description.
