No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The human gastrointestinal tract shelters a complex and dynamic population of microorganisms, the gut microbiota, which plays an important role in immune and metabolic homeostasis. In recent years several major diseases were linked with alterations in the gut microbiome composition.

There are known factors which can influence gut microbiata composition. For example diet is known to play a fundamental role in determining the composition of the intestinal microbiota over time. However, there are very few studies evaluating how collection and DNA isolation methods affect microbiome composition.
