Ecophylogenetic Characterization of the Gut Microbiome of At-risk Companion and Food Animals

Creator:

Kirchoff, Nicole S.

Abstract:

Agricultural and companion animals are integral to our way of life as they provide us with nourishment, financial resources, transportation, and companionship. However, pets, managed animals in the agricultural industry, as well as wild populations of food animals are all subject to health and mortality risks. The gut microbiome is...

Characterizing the Accuracy of Phylogenetic Analyses that Leverage 16S rRNA Sequencing Data

Creator:

Humphreys, Ian R.

Abstract:

Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....
