Human Vaginal Targeted Locus (Loci)
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder of sexually-active women. Yet the cause of BV has not been established. To uncover potentially key features of BV, we employed a multi-omic, systems-biology approach, including both deep 16S rRNA gene-based metagenomic sequencing and metabolomics of lavage samples from 36 women.  These women varied demographically, behaviorally, and in terms of health status and symptoms.
