Characterisation of low frequency commensals in animals

Status: Quotation sent

Project ID: B20392

Owner: Pamela Schnupf

Unit: Ultrapole

Experiment type: To be determined

Location: Francois Jacob (26), Ground floor, Mezzanine

Description

The microbiota plays an integral role in both health of disease. While most studies focus on the most abundant bacterial species within the gut microbiome, low frequency commensals can have an outsized effect on the host. In order to investigate the low abundant microbiome, we aim to use nanopore adaptive sampling to obtain genetic information on a group of commensals that proliferate in the ileum and are involved in host immune activation.
