Significant differences found in short nucleotide sequences of human intestinal metagenomes of Northern-European and Chinese Origin.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 2017 January
BACKGROUND: Metagenomic analysis of environmental and clinical samples is gaining considerable importance in today's literature. Changes in the composition of the intestinal microbial communities, relative to the healthy control, are reported in numerous conditions.
METHODS: We have carefully analyzed the frequencies of the short nucleotide sequences in the metagenomes of two different enterotypes; namely of Chinese and European origins.
RESULTS: We have identified 255 nucleotide sequences of length up to 9, such that their frequencies significantly differ in the two enterotypes examined.
CONCLUSIONS: We have demonstrated that short nucleotide sequences are capable of differentiating enterotypes, and not only metagenomes, originating from healthy and diseased subjects.
GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Our results may imply that the frequency-differences of certain short nucleotides have diagnostical value if properly applied for different clusters of metagenomes.
