Microbiome samples refer to collections of tiny living organisms, like bacteria, that exist in various parts of our bodies, such as the gut, skin, or mouth.

In one study, researchers took
microbiome samples from both lean and obese mice and placed them in the gut of neutral mice.
It was shown that the mice with the
obese microbiome sample actually extracted MORE calories from the same exact food, gained more weight, and had increased insulin resistance.
Pre-print: A comprehensive automated pipeline for
human microbiome sampling, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and bioinformatics processing — Luisa W Hugerth — bioRxiv
They then compared the codes to
microbiome samples collected from the same individuals» at follow - up visits and to samples from independent groups of individuals.
Gopalakrishnan, Wargo and colleagues examined oral and
gut microbiome samples from 228 patients with metastatic melanoma.
The authors adapted a classical computer science algorithm to combine stable and distinguishing sequence features from individuals»
initial microbiome samples into individual - specific «codes.»
This is a view of Microbiome swab kit
containing Microbiome samples from various physical surfaces prior to being stowed in MELFI or GLACIER to achieve experiment objectives.
First, I've been studying the skin microbiome quite a bit lately, and, as a matter of fact, just a couple months ago sent my stool, skin and
mouth microbiome samples off to the Human Microbiome Project to get analyzed.
Optogenetic regulation of transcription to promote biosynthesis of desired chemicals from fungi, the effect of yeast and bacteria on floral nectar, guidelines and best practices for
human microbiome sampling / sequencing / processing.
Among the 93 patients treated with anti-PD1 immune checkpoint blockade, the researchers had
gut microbiome samples from 30 responders and 13 non-responders.
This opens the door to connecting human
microbiome samples between databases, which has the potential to expose sensitive subject information — for example, a sexually - transmitted infection, detectable from the microbiome sample itself,» said lead author Eric Franzosa, research fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard Chan.
The team also reported the capture and cloning of the first protein library, or suite of proteins, from a human
microbiome sample.
The study found smartphones closely resembled
the microbiome sampled from their owner's finger, with 82 percent of the most common bacteria on participants» fingers also found on their phones.
Metagenomics poses many analysis challenges, from errors reading DNA sequences to decoding which sequences come from which of the hundreds of microbial species in
a microbiome sample.
We will perform ultra-deep sequencing of
your microbiome sample aimed at generating as many individual bacterial genomes as possible (we can't tell you how because the details of the technique are still under wraps prior to publication).
As part of our initial testing of the Purple Line, we will cover reagent and sequencing costs for up to 20 attendees to have 10
microbiome samples (including replicates and controls) sequenced in advance of the workshop.
