Transcriptomic analysis of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

Status: Awaiting samples

Project ID: B21573

Owner: Emma BERGSTEN

Unit: Biology and Genetics of Bacterial Cell Wall

Experiment type: To be determined

Location: Duclaux, Rdc

Description

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is a major commensal bacterium of the healthy human gut microbiota and is reduced in patients with Crohn’s disease. In this project we aim to perform RNA-seq to characterize the transcriptome of F. prausnitzii under standard culture conditions. The objective is to obtain a global overview of genes that are expressed or not expressed in this condition and to identify main active biological functions. These data will provide a basal transcriptomic description of F. prausnitzii and support future studies on its role in intestinal homeostasis and role in inflammatory bowel disease.
