Analyses of the human gut microbiome after transplantation into germ-free mice

Total community DNA/RNA was isolated from the gut of a human donor and gnotobiotic mouse recipients. Temporal and spatial analyses of the human gut microbiome after transplantation into germ-free mouse recipients reveal stable and hereditable colonization, with rapid and reproducible effects of recipient dietary shifts, overruling legacy effects and affecting community composition, gene content, and gene expression. GQ491120-GQ493997 are ribosomal RNA sequences associated with this project. Sequences submitted to the Short Read Archive (SRA) can be found using the Project link button.
