• Analyzing Metagenome Helps Understand the Role of Bacterial Species in Crohn’s Disease

  Research on gut metagenome of patients with Crohn’s disease helped study how it influences the functional composition of gut microbiota. Among the most common changes are the decrease in the diversity of useful microbes and the increase in the amount of Escherichia coli and other microbes associated with inflammation. Such data can help better understand the causes and progress of the disease, as well as choose efficient treatment. The research was published in BMC Genomics.
