Gut metagenome in PIM1-deficient mice and WT mice before and after co-housing
Given that intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in colitis and PIM1 expression can be regulated by intestinal microbiota, we investigated the function of intestinal microbiota in the protective colitis phenotype of PIM1+/- mice. We performed 16S rDNA sequencing of stool samples of PIM1+/- and WT mice.
