The Host-Microbiota Interactions Lab explores the relationship between humans and their microbiome- the community of microorganisms that live on and in us. The team focusses on gut bacteria and viruses and their influence in long-term growth, development and disease resistance of children from Westernized and Low- and Middle-Income countries.
About
We have cultured over 200 bacterial isolates from the mouse intestinal microbiota that are deposited with DSMZ. In addition, we have generated over 25,000 metagenome-assembled genomes and isolate genomes from the mouse gut

Data use
This sequencing centre plans on publishing the completed and annotated sequences in a peer-reviewed journal as soon as possible. Permission of the principal investigator should be obtained before publishing analyses of the sequence/open reading frames/genes on a chromosome or genome scale. See our data sharing policy.
