Project description:A phylogenetic microarray targeting 66 families described in the human gut microbiota has been developped aud used to monitor the gut microbiota's structure and diversity. The microarray format provided by Agilent and used in this study is 8x15K. A study with a total of 4 chips was realized. Arrays 1 and 2: Hybridization with 100ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from a mock community sample and 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 1 faecal sample. Each Agilent-030618 array probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates. Arrays 3 and 4: Hybridization with 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 2 faecal samples. Each Agilent-40558 array probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates.

Project description:Here we report a direct tRNA sequencing protocol and software to simultaneously examine the composition and biological activity of naturally occurring microbial communities. Our analysis of mouse gut microbiome with tRNA-seq and 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons revealed comparable microbial community structures, and additional physiological insights into the microbiome through tRNA abundance and modifications.
