Gut microbiota Metagenome

Gut microbiota metagenomic sequencing is a high-throughput sequencing approach that characterizes the collective genetic material (genomes) of all microorganisms (including bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and other microbes) residing in the gastrointestinal tract. This technique bypasses the need for culturing individual microbial species, enabling comprehensive analysis of the taxonomic composition, functional potential, and metabolic capabilities of the complex gut microbial community.
