Pulmonary fungal community profiling by 18S rRNA sequencing in human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid
This project investigates alterations in pulmonary fungal communities associated with lung adenocarcinoma. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from individuals with lung adenocarcinoma and benign pulmonary diseases were subjected to 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize differences in pulmonary fungal community composition and identify disease-associated fungal signatures.
