We have compiled a list of both in-person and online conferences from around the world, which cover all aspects of the microbiome from stage (science, R&D, commercialization) to application (human, animal, plant, environmental, gut, skin, oral, etc.) and more. While this isn't an exhaustive list, it does cover the larger and more popular conferences. We look forward to seeing you at a number of these events and, right now, are planning on attending these conferences: Microbiome R&D & Business Collaboration Forum: Europe on May 23 - 24, 2023 in Rotterdam, Netherlands Microbiome R ..read more

16S rRNA sequencing has been used extensively in microbiome research to identify the composition of bacteria and archaea within a wide variety of microbiomes from the human gut to the Amazon rainforest. In this guide, we will explore the principles and applications of 16S rRNA sequencing, including sample preparation, DNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. We will also discuss the limitations and potential pitfalls of 16S rRNA sequencing and provide tips for optimizing your experiments ..read more

Next-generation sequencing is a hugely powerful tool in microbiome science to study what microbes and microbial genes are within a certain environment. This has led to major advances in our understanding of human health, environmental science and basic biology. However, next-generation sequencing generally only tells you the proportion of particular microbes within a certain environment relative to all other microbes. In most cases, it does not quantify the absolute number of micro-organisms in that sample. In this blog, we discuss the importance and approaches for quantification in microbiom ..read more

Human microbiome research has exploded over the past decade, revealing the fascinating influence of our bodily microbes on human health and disease from gut health to skin health to brain health. To date, however, a majority of human microbiome studies have been cross-sectional, analysing microbiomes at a single point in time. However, human microbiomes can change rapidly in response to different foods, drugs and their environment, and it is these changes over time that may tell us more about the influence of human microbiomes on health and disease, than microbial snapshots at a single point ..read more

Microbiome Conferences are back in 2022 – Hooray!
