Abstract
The intestinal microbiota is associated with a variety of diseases, and there are a growing number of research reports on the gut microbiota. In addition, a new technique such as Nanopore sequencing has recently become available, making it easier to conduct research related to the gut microbiota. In this chapter, we introduce a technique used in gut microbiota analysis, from stool collection to sequencing with MinION.
