Genomic 'tweezer' ushers in a new era of precision in microbiome research

In a landmark study published in the journal Nature Methods, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have unveiled mEnrich-seq—an innovative method designed to substantially enhance the specificity and efficiency of research into microbiomes, the complex communities of microorganisms that inhabit the human body. The paper is titled "mEnrich-seq: methylation-guided enrichment sequencing of bacterial taxa of interest from microbiome."
