Pyrosequencing analysis of the human microbiota of healthy Chinese undergraduates

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Elucidating the biogeography of bacterial communities on the human body is critical for establishing healthy baselines from which to detect differences associated with disease; however, little is known about the baseline bacterial profiles from various human habitats of healthy Chinese undergraduates. RESULTS: Using parallel barcoded 454 pyrosequencing targeting on the 16S rRNA gene V3 region, the...
