This study is to investigate placental microbiome through 16S rDNA-based and whole genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Identified taxa and their gene carriage patterns were compared to other human
Metagenomics data of 80 placental tissue samples analyzed by X Ten for their possible microbial content. These 80 samples from pre-labor C-section deliveries, representing Cohort 1, were spiked with 1
