We compared gut microbiota of mir-146 KO and WT mice by 16s sequencing. mouse gut metagenome

To investigate whether gut microbiota is associated with miR-146, 16 fecal samples from widetype mice (WT) (n=8) and miR-21 knockout mice (miR-21 KO) (n=8) two groups, Illumina MiSeq pyrosequencing analysis and bioinformatic statistical approach demonstrated that the diversity of gut microbiota and key pholytypes are significantly different in WT mice and miR-146 KO mice
