human gut metagenome Raw sequence reads
To characterize gut microbiome of the infant during the first year of life and assess the different contributions of mode of delivery, mode of feeding and infant gender to gut microbial development. Methods: We collected 314 fecal samples from 80 infants at 5 time points of 0, 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th month prospectively, and finally 213 samples completed Miseq sequencing and analysis. We characterized gut microbiome of the infant at the different phases and evaluated the different contributions of delivery mode, feeding mode and gender to gut microbial development.
