A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins
Total community DNA was isolated from the feces of monozygotic and dizygotic twins and their mothers.  We have characterized the fecal   microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin   pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers. The   results demonstrate that a diversity of organismal assemblages can   nonetheless yield a core microbiome at a functional level, and that   deviations from this core are associated with different physiologic   states (obese versus lean).   <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?holding=&db=Nucleotide&cmd=search&term=FJ362604:FJ372382 [accn]">FJ362604-FJ372382 </a> correspond to 16S ribosomal RNA sequences isolated from this study.   454 sequence data is available from the Short Read Archive (SRA): <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/sra/Submissions/SRA002/SRA002775/ ">SRA002775</a>.
