Skin metatranscriptomics reveals a landscape of variation in microbial activity and gene expression across the human body
28 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Metatranscriptomics methods for the skin are hampered by low microbial biomass, contamination with host cells and low RNA stability. In this study, we developed a robust, clinically tractable skin metatranscriptomics workflow that provides high technical reproducibility of profiles, uniform coverage across gene bodies and strong enrichment of microbial mRNAs. Paired application of this protocol with metagenomics...
