Comparison of Fecal Collection Methods on Variation in Gut Metagenomics and Untargeted Metabolomics

Abstract excerpt

The choice of fecal collection method is essential for studying gut microbe-human interactions in large-scale population-based research. In this study, we examined the effects of fecal collection methods and storage time at ambient temperature on variations in the gut microbiome community composition; microbial diversity metrics at the species, gene, and pathway levels; antibiotic resistance genes; and metabolome...
