Reference genome for the Human Microbiome Project

Butyrivibrio crossotus DSM 2876. Butyrivibrio crossotus DSM 2876 (ATCC 29175) was isolated from human feces and is a member of normal human gut microbial community. This strain is part of a comprehensive, sequence-based survey of members of the normal human gut microbiota. A joint effort of the WU-GSC and the Center for Genome Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine, the purpose of this survey is to provide the general scientific community with a broad view of the gene content of 100 representatives of the major divisions represented in the intestine's microbial community. This information should provide a frame of reference for analyzing metagenomic studies of the human gut microbiome.

交叉丁酸弧菌（Butyrivibrio crossotus）DSM 2876（ATCC 29175）从人类粪便中分离得到，属于人体肠道正常微生物群落成员。该菌株是一项针对人类肠道正常微生物群落成员的基于序列的综合调查研究的组成部分。本项目由华盛顿大学医学院WU-GSC与基因组科学中心联合发起，此项调查的目标是为全球科学界系统呈现肠道主要微生物类群的100株代表菌株的基因组成全貌。相关数据将为人类肠道宏基因组研究的分析工作提供参考框架。
