Microbiota from three conplastic mice strains
We selected three different conplastic mice strains (B6, B6_mtFVB, NZB_mtNZB) to link the impact of the mitochondrial DNA to the gut microbiome. For each strain, 16 individuals (9 females, 7 males) of young age (~3 months) were selected for sequencing on a Illumina MiSeq platform.
