Microbiome Resources

At the Mouse Biology Program, we empower microbiome research with specialized tools, mouse models, and expert support.

Our Microbiome Resources support research into the critical role of microbiota in health and disease. From specialized mouse models and fecal collection kits to expert consultation, we provide comprehensive resources to help researchers investigate host-microbe interactions, gut-brain signaling, immune modulation, and metabolic processes with some of the most advanced research support services:

Germ-Free and Gnotobiotic Mouse Models
Fecal Collection and Microbiota Transfer Kits
Phenotyping Services for Microbiome Studies
Data Support and Analysis

Germ-Free and Gnotobiotic Mouse Models

We offer access to germ-free and gnotobiotic mouse models that provide a controlled environment for microbiome studies:

Germ-Free Models: Mice with no detectable microbiota for studying colonization and microbial influence.
Gnotobiotic Models: Mice colonized with defined microbial communities for controlled studies.

These models are essential for understanding the causal effects of microbiota on immune function, metabolism, and behavior.

Fecal Collection and Microbiota Transfer Kits

Our specialized kits streamline sample collection and microbiota transfer experiments:

Fecal Collection Kit: Sterile, easy-to-use kits for preserving microbiota samples for downstream analysis.
Microbiota Transfer Kit: Supports fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiments for preclinical studies.

Phenotyping Services for Microbiome Studies

We offer expert support for microbiome-focused phenotyping, including:

Metabolic Profiling: Analysis of microbiome-driven metabolic changes using OMICS tools.
Immune Response Assessment: Evaluation of immune modulation by microbiota through cytokine assays and flow cytometry.
Behavioral Testing: Investigation of microbiome influence on anxiety, memory, and social behaviors.

Data Support and Analysis

Our team provides bioinformatic support for microbiome research, including:

16S rRNA and Metagenomic Sequencing: High-resolution microbial profiling.
Microbiome Data Integration: Tools for integrating microbiome data with phenotypic and genetic datasets to draw meaningful insights.
