Methods for Improving Human Gut Microbiome Data by Reducing Variability through Sample Processing and Storage of Stool

Abstract excerpt

Gut microbiome community analysis is used to understand many diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and diabetes. Sampling methods are an important consideration for human microbiome research, yet are not emphasized in many studies. In this study, we demonstrate that the preparation, handling, and storage of human faeces are critical processes that alter the outcomes of downstream DNA-based bacterial...
