Gut microbiota in the Irish Elderly

Description

This study is based on pyrosequencing of 16S rDNA amplicons from faecal samples collected from 178 elderly Irish citizens and 13 healthy young control subjects. A subset of these samples were also subjected to shotgun sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 2x91bp reads. Antibiotic treatment was an exclusion criterion.
