| Abstract | Since the development of the next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, 16S rRNA gene sequencing hasbecome a major tool for microbial community analysis. Recently, human microbiome project (HMP) has beencompleted to identify microbes associated with human health and diseases. HMP achieved characterization ofseveral diseases caused by bacteria, especially the ones in human gut. While human intestinal bacteria have beenwell characterized, little have been studied about other animal intestinal bacteria. In this study, we surveyed diversityof livestock animal fecal microbiota and discuss importance of studying fecal microbiota. Here, we report theinitiation of the fecal microbiome project in South Korea. | ||
