A comparative analysis of the intestinal metagenomes present in guinea pigs (
BMC Genomics, 2012 Background Guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is an important model for human intestinal research. We have characterized the faecal microbiota of 60 guinea pigs using Illumina shotgun metagenomics, and used this data to compile a gene catalogue of its ...

Small animal biomagnetism applications [PDF]
In: Labyt, E., Sander, T., Wakai, R. (eds) Flexible High
Performance Magnetic Field Sensors. Springer, Cham, 2022 The functioning of the human brain, nervous system and heart is based on the conduction of electrical signals. These electrical signals also create magnetic fields which extend outside the human body. Highly sensitive magnetometers, such as superconducting quantum interference device magnetometers or optically pumped magnetometers, placed outside the ...
