    Comparison of self-collected oral swabs for supragingival microbiome characterization using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing

    Participants preferred the Omnigene and Zymo oral swabs for comfort and ease of use, whilst the Omnigene device yielded the highest median bacterial DNA concentration compared to the other devices.

    Long-term stability at -80°C of oral wash and saliva samples for microbiome analyses

    Saliva samples collected using the OMNIgene ORAL device and oral wash samples remain stable for microbiome diversity and relative abundance analyses for up to five years when stored at -80°C.

    Detection of Cryptosporidium hominis by clinical metagenomics in stool samples from an outbreak of diarrhoea among British military personnel in Kenya

    A study limited by sample size found OMNIgene GUT tubes preserved Cryptosporidium DNA better than DNA Shield and FTA cards after year-long ambient storage.

    First-void urine and cervicovaginal brushes for vaginal microbiome profiling: a proof-of-concept study

    In a small proof-of-concept, first-void urine and cervicovaginal brushes yielded high-quality vaginal microbiome profiles in most participants,

    Gut Microbial Variations Associated With Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study

    Analysis of self-collected stool samples from 309 participants demonstrated that proton pump inhibitor use is significantly associated with an enrichment of Streptococcus species in the gut.
