Nineteen participants climbed from 210m (H1) to 4420m (H2) to stay for
six months. Three of them descended to 3500m (H3), stayed for two months
to further ascend to 5800m (H4) for four months. Fecal samples collected
at different time points were analyzed for WGS (for three subjects who
climbed to H4 and compared with 16S rRNA sequencing of subjects (16)
from the same cohort who stayed at H1 and H2 heights to illustrate
microbial diversity upto strain level and functional analysis at extreme
altitudes.
Sharing of Sequence data
between four different altitudes
