Fecal microbiota of different Mutant Mouse Resource & Research Centers (MMRRC) strains Targeted loci (16S)

MMRRC mouse strains are often contributed to the MMRRC to fulfill the resource sharingaspects of NIH grants. Since transporting mice to another facility often causesa microbiota shift, having a record of the original fecal microbiota from thedonor institution where the original phenotyping or testing was performed mayprove helpful if a phenotype is lost after transfer. Therefore, theese strain wereselected for fecal microbiota profiling.
