The Limits and Avoidance of Biases in Metagenomic Analyses of Human Fecal Microbiota
An increasing body of evidence highlights the role of fecal microbiota in various human diseases. However, more than two-thirds of fecal bacteria cannot be cultivated by routine laboratory techniques. Thus, physicians and scientists use DNA sequencing and statistical tools to identify associations b...
