Microbial Ecology in the age of metagenomics (Jianping Xu). 15.The enduring legacy of small rRNA in microbiology (Susan Tringe). 16. Pitfalls of PCR-based rRNA gene sequence analysis: an update on some parameters (Stackebrandt). 17. Empirical testing of 16S rRNA gene PCR primer pairs reveals variance in target specificity and efficacy not suggested by in silico analysis (Sergio Morales and Bill Holben). 18. The impact of next-generation sequencingtechnologies on (meta)genomics (George Weinstock). 19. Accuracy and quality of massively parallel DNA pyrosequencing (Susan Huse and David Mark Welch). 20.Environmental shotgun sequencing: Its potential and challenges for studying the hidden world of microbes (Jonathan Eisen). 21. Comparison of random sequence reads versus 16S rDNA sequences for estimating the biodiversity of a metagenomic library (C. Manischan). 22. Metagenomic libraries for functional screeing(Svein Valla). 23.
