LIVE TALK: How to efficiently manage samples for gut microbiome studies
The effect of human gut microbiota on the health and pathogenesis of various diseases have been investigated in recent years. A major challenge for microbiome studies is maintaining an even and accurate DNA extraction in the presence of samples with a wide range of bacterial content. Therefore, sample stabilization and validated DNA extraction are essential steps in gut microbiome analysis projects. Severe errors and biases are caused by sample storage and extraction procedures. Especially the DNA isolation procedure continues to be a large source of experimental variability in 16S rRNA sequence analysis and the most time-consuming step in a high-throughput pipeline.
