Improving Information Capture from Gut Microbiome Studies Through Animal-specific Reference Databases
Time: 10:05 am
day: Day One
Details:
- Metagenomic sequence analyses using general reference databases, mainly composed of human-relevant microbes, fail to annotate a considerable proportion of animal gut microbiome data
- Reference databases built with animal-relevant genomes and metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) improves microbial taxonomic and functional profile generation
- Discover how leveraging curated animal databases provides greater insights into health, nutrition and disease
