Dual Transcriptomic Profiling of Host and Microbiota during Health and Disease in Pediatric Asthma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis of microbial communities from the respiratory airways has heavily relied on the 16S rRNA gene. Given the intrinsic limitations of this approach, airway microbiome research has focused on assessing bacterial composition during health and disease, and its variation in relation to clinical and environmental factors, or other microbiomes. Consequently, very little...
