In this chapter, we provide a methodological description of the process to perform gastrointestinal (GIT) microbiota profiling on human stool samples. The process includes: (i) collection of feces, (ii) isolation of DNA from fecal community bacteria, (iii) selection of both 16S rDNA sequencing target and next-generation sequencing platform, and (iv) analysis and interpretation of sequence data. The process culminates into a comprehensive report on the GIT microbiota composition and structure that may translate into clinically actionable results.
在本章中,我们提供了一种对人类粪便样本进行胃肠道(GIT)微生物组分析的方法描述。该过程包括:(i)粪便采集,(ii)从粪便菌群中分离 DNA,(iii)选择 16S rDNA 测序目标和下一代测序平台,以及(iv)对序列数据进行分析和解释。该过程最终生成一份关于 GIT 微生物群落组成和结构的综合报告,可能转化为临床可操作的结果。
