title: bacterial 16S rRNA gene survey: human volar forearm skin
design: DNA was extracted from the skin swab samples collected from volar forearm skin (humans). Samples were used for the amplification and subsequent sequencing of the V1V3 regions of the 16S rRNA gene, as described in Lehtimki J. et al., 2017 (doi:10.1038/srep45651). Subjects included adult people from Finland.
