2bRAD-M reveals the difference in microbial distribution between cancerous and benign ovarian tissues.

ABSTRACT: The development of ovarian cancer is closely related to various factors, such as environmental, genetic and microbiological factors. In previous research, bacteria were identified in human tumors by 16S rRNA sequencing. However, the microbial biomass in tumor tissue is too low and cannot be accurately identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. In our study, we employ 2bRAD sequencing for Microbiome (2bRAD-M), a new sequencing technology capable of accurately characterizing the low biomass microbiome (bacteria, fungi and archaea) at species resolution. Here we surveyed 20 ovarian samples, including 10 ovarian cancer samples and 10 benign ovarian samples. The sequencing results showed that a total of 373 microbial species were identified in both two groups, of which 90 species shared in the two grou
