Integrative Analysis of Gut Microbiome Composition and Diversity to Characterize Aging-Associated Changes in Mice
This project aim to investigate how aging shapes the gut microbiome in mice. By comparing microbial communities across different life stages, we observed clear shifts in both composition and functional potential. Predicted functional analyses further revealed age-related patterns in metabolic pathways, highlighting how microbial diversity and functions are linked to host health during aging.
