| 4 | An Improved Methodology to Overcome Key Issues in Human Fecal Metagenomic DNA Extraction显示文摘Microbes are ubiquitously distributed in nature, and recent culture-independent studies have highlighted the significance of gut microbiota in human health and disease. Fecal DNA is the primary source for the majority of human gut microbiome studies. However, further improvement is needed to obtain fecal metagenomic DNA with sufficient amount and good quality but low host genomic DNA contamination. In the current study, we demonstrate a quick, robust, unbiased,and cost-effective method for the isolation of high molecular weight(>23 kb) metagenomic DNA(260/280 ratio >1.8) with a good yield(55.8 ± 3.8 ng/mg of feces). We also confirm that there is very low human genomic DNA contamination(eubacterial: human genomic DNA marker genes = 2^(27.9):1) in the human feces. The newly-developed method robustly performs for fresh as well as stored fecal samples as demonstrated by 16 S r RNA gene sequencing using 454 FLX+.Moreover, 16 S r RNA gene analysis indicated that compared to other DNA extraction methods tested, the fecal metagenomic DNA isolated with current methodology retains species richnessand does not show microbial diversity biases, which is further confirmed by q PCR with a known quantity of spike-in genomes. Overall, our data highlight a protocol with a balance between quality,amount, user-friendliness, and cost effectiveness for its suitability toward usage for cultureindependent analysis of the human gut microbiome, which provides a robust solution to overcome key issues associated with fecal metagenomic DNA isolation in human gut microbiome studies. | Jitendra Kumar Manoj Kumar Shashank Gupta Vasim Ahmed Manu Bhambi Rajesh Pandey Nat Singh Chauhan | 2016 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2016，14，6： | 0 |
