Integrated Human Skin Bacteria Genome Catalog Reveals Extensive Unexplored Habitat‐Specific Microbiome Diversity and Function
7 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Various skin environments on its surface constitutes a complex ecosystem. One of the characteristics of the skin micro-ecosystem is low biomass, which greatly limits a comprehensive identification of the microbial species through sequencing. In this study, deep-shotgun sequencing (average 21.5 Gigabyte (Gb)) from 450 facial samples and publicly available skin...
