Figure Legend Snippet: Study design . Workflow for characterizing the microbiome (16S rRNA sequencing; DNA-based) and microbiota (meta-transcriptomics; RNA-based) in vaginal swabs, endometrial brushes, and endometrial biopsies. Taxonomy was assigned via the Kraken2/Bracken methodology, and in silico decontamination was performed via the Decontam R package. Characterization included abundance, diversity, and correlation between techniques. The study cohort consisted of 44 reproductive-aged women. In the validation cohort (N = 5), a dual approach (DNA- and RNA-based) was applied to all three sample types. Additional validation analyses for endometrial biopsies were performed via real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and microbial culture.
Techniques Used: Sequencing, In Silico, Biomarker Discovery, Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Figure Legend Snippet: Microbial composition along the female reproductive tract revealed by DNA- and RNA-based techniques . Relative abundance of bacterial genera in vaginal ( A ), endometrial brush ( B ), and endometrial ( C ) biopsies detected via 16S rRNA gene sequencing (DNA-based approach). ( D ) Microbial taxa in endometrial biopsies assigned via a meta-transcriptomic (RNA-based) approach. The microbial composition is plotted after decontamination. The samples on the iris plots are arranged by their rotational position around the origin of a principal component analysis (PCA) plot. Centred log ratio (CLR) transformation was applied to normalise the microbial counts at the genus level. Genera with abundances less than 1% were grouped as ‘Others’.
Techniques Used: Sequencing, Transformation Assay
