Spatial maps give new view of gut microbiome | Cornell Chronicle – Cornell Chronicle

What microbes are in your gut, and where?
Cornell researchers developed an imaging tool to create intricate spatial maps of the locations and identities of hundreds of different microbial species, such as those that make up the gut microbiome. The tool will help scientists understand how complex communities of microorganisms interact with each other and also their environment, which is to say, us.
Cornell researchers used a two-step process called HiPR-FISH to create this color-coded spatial map…
