In the realm of animal microbiome characterization and sampling storage, the exploration of
microbial diversity within diverse host species is of paramount significance. My project will shed
light on the intricate relationships between animals and the resident microbial communities that
inhabit their various anatomical niches. By employing advanced molecular techniques and highthroughput sequencing, we aim to unravel the complexities of these symbiotic partnerships. The
data obtained will not only broaden our understanding of host-microbe interactions but also offer
insights into the potential applications of these findings in agriculture, veterinary medicine, and
even human health. This multidisciplinary approach is poised to revolutionize our
comprehension of the animal microbiome, thereby contributing to the advancement of both basic
and applied science.
