A More Accurate, Cheaper, Faster Microbiome Preparation Method: Application to Study the Microbiome in Cocaine Addiction
The novel ‘K’ DNA extraction protocol offers a reliable alternative for preparing fecal specimens for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing that maintains representation of microbial populations in a sample, with the added benefits that the K method reduces hands-on time by up to 20 x for 96 sample preparations.

The Microbes That Live With Us From Cradle to Grave
Inside your body there are trillions of microscopic organisms: bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea – collectively known as the microbiota. Over the past decade, we’ve learnt that these communities help to shape our physiology and contribute to our wellbeing.

Correlations among the Toddler Gut Microbiome and Health Status Variables
Establishment and succession of the human microbiome begins at birth and microbial composition adapts alongside human development and growth. Development of a healthy signature microbial community has significant effects on health.This study followed 18 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, measured initially in the from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), at the age of two to three years old.

How the Food You Eat Affects Your Gut
The bacteria in our guts can break down food the body can’t digest, produce important nutrients, regulate the immune system, and protect against harmful germs. And while we can’t control all the factors that go into maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, we can manipulate the balance of our microbes by paying attention to what we eat.
