We have combined expertise in multiple disciplines and the capability to collect a large number of well-phenotyped human clinical samples across six institutions (Washington University in St. Louis, University of North Carolina, University of Colorado, University of New Mexico, Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Cleveland Clinic) with the capacity for high-throughput sequencing at the Genome Center at Washington University to study how alterations in the human intestinal microbiome relate to Crohn's disease. |
