16S rRNA gene sequencing is crucial for delving deeper into microbial diversity in ecosystems ranging from soil and water to human-associated microbiomes. However, conventional PCR methods, as used in ...
Since the beginning of the microbiome era decades ago, 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing has been widely adopted for microbial composition profiling. Many researchers might assume the 16S ...
Several studies have indicated the importance of gut microbes in maintaining human health. These microbes are also associated with fundamental physiologic processes, such as aging, drug response, ...
It is said in Spanish, "si no existe, créalo" or "if it does not exist, create it." This is exactly what sometimes occurs at the Fred Hutch. When we do not have the tools to test a hypothesis, we must ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
