Functional Alterations and Predictive Capacity of Gut Microbiome in Type 2 Diabetes
The gut microbiome plays a significant role in the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), but the functional mechanisms behind this association merit deeper investigation. In this study we used nanopore sequencing technology for metagenomic analysis to compare the gut microbiome of individuals with T2DM (n=40) to that of healthy controls (n=44).
