Improving characterization of understudied human microbiomes using targeted phylogenetics

Abstract excerpt

Whole genome bacterial sequences are required to better understand microbial functions, niches-pecific bacterial metabolism, and disease states. Although genomic sequences are available for many of the human-associated bacteria from commonly tested body habitats (e.g. stool), as few as 13% of bacterial-derived reads from other sites such as the skin map to known bacterial genomes. To facilitate a better characteri...
