16 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The relevance of spatial composition in the microbial changes associated with UC is unclear. We coupled luminal brush samples, mucosal biopsies and laser capture microdissection with deep sequencing of the gut microbiota to develop an integrated spatial assessment of the microbial community in controls and UC. DESIGN: A total of 98 samples were sequenced to a mean depth of 31,642 reads from nine...
