Metatranscriptomic Analysis of Colonic Mucosal Samples Exploring the Functional Role of Active Microbial Consortia in Complicated Diverticulitis
Herein, we employed shotgun metatranscriptomics on 40 patient matched samples of diseased and adjacent normal colonic mucosal tissues from 20 patients with complicated diverticulitis to gain a more comprehensive understanding of active microbial taxa and gene expression patterns that may be involved in this disease state.
