The UAB Microbiome Institutional Research Core provides 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal and other biological samples for microbiome analysis. The resulting fecal library can be used for multiple ...

Most notably, Gordon and colleagues 1 identified a core gut microbiome in unrelated individuals (both lean and obese), which occurs at the level of shared bacterial gene families but not at the ...

A key finding is the extensive variation in microbiome composition from person to person, even in healthy individuals. There is not a single "normal" or core microbiome; everyone has a personalized ...

The Functional Genomics and Microbiome Core (FGM) brings together the microbial and mammalian biology underpinning molecular mechanisms of digestive diseases. It accomplishes this purpose via ...

The microbiome comprises all of the genetic material ... Here, using co-occurrence network analysis, the authors find that core microbes contribute to plant-soil resilience.
