Microbiota DNA isolation, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis for bacterial microbiome profiling of rodent fecal samples

Summary: Fecal samples are frequently used to characterize bacterial populations of the gastrointestinal tract. A protocol is provided to profile gut bacterial populations using rodent fecal samples. We describe the optimal procedures for collecting rodent fecal samples, isolating genomic DNA, 16S r...
