The Impact of Delivery Mode and Feeding Method on Infant Gut Microbiome Establishment
The Impact of Delivery Mode and Feeding Method on Infant Gut Microbiome Establishment
Special thanks to Eray Şahin for the bioinformatics analysis of data. This guide will discuss the impact of delivery mode and feeding method on infant gut microbiome establishment, a study conducted by researchers from the University of California Davis.   The research team used CosmosID’s platform to analyze microbial samples collected from infants born vaginally...
Battle of the Sequencers: Nanopore vs Illumina Sequencing Technologies
Battle of the Sequencers: Nanopore vs Illumina Sequencing Technologies
Are you curious about the two main types of DNA sequencing technology? Nanopore and Illumina are both powerful tools in genetics research, but it can be difficult to understand how they differ. In this guide, we’ll take a close look at both technologies and compare them side-by-side to help you make an informed decision when...
SIFR® Technology: Closing the Gap Between Preclinical and Clinical Prebiotics Research
New research has found a way to predict the impact of prebiotics on the human gut microbiota within days, using an ex vivo, reactor-based, high-throughput SIFR® (Systemic Intestinal Fermentation Research) technology.    In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the research, its method, and what it means for the future of prebiotic research....
