Food Metagenomics Study Finds Diversity of Microbes, Overlap With Human Gut Microbiome
Researchers analyzed metagenomic sequence data for more than 2,500 food samples, detecting over 1,000 prokaryotic and greater than 100 eukaryotic species.
The retracted study, which claimed evidence of widespread cancer-specific microbial signatures, also underpins a microbiome-based cancer test from Micronoma.
Infant Gut Microbiome Study Highlights Development, Rhythmicity Over Time
Researchers saw age-related effects on the infant gut microbial community development, along with diet-related differences in fecal metabolite patterns.
The company is also preparing to raise a Series A financing round to establish its technology in other application areas.
mEnrich-seq shows potential to dramatically reduce the time, cost, and technical difficulty of isolating and sequencing challenging human microbes.
