Specifically, targeted sequencing of the conserved 16S rRNA gene is relatively simple, inexpensive, and high-throughput. However, the analysis of such data quantifies each microbe as a fraction of the total read count, which can lead to misinterpretations of microbes that differ between communities associated with disease. To address this limitation, quantitative microbiome profiling (QMP) methods have been developed. 000008360 540__ $$fCC BY 000008360 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008360 6531_ $$aquantitative microbiome profiling 000008360 6531_ $$amicrobial load 000008360 6531_ $$a16S rRNA gene 000008360 6531_ $$amicrobiome 000008360 6531_ $$agene sequencing 000008360 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008360 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000008360 692__ $$aCancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center$$041380 000008360 7001_ $$aBowie, Kathleen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aFurst, Alec$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aSchleisman, Matt$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aJallow, Fatoumata$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aDavin, Sean$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aRosenbaum, James T.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 7001_ $$aKarstens, Lisa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008360 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008360 8564_ $$91024ca20-b7e7-435f-b294-cf9050ec5267$$s45596$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8360/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Bowie.Kathleen.pdf 000008360 905__ $$a/rest/prod/80/49/g5/61/8049g5613 000008360 980__ $$aResearch Week
