and significantly higher abundance of Alistipes communis. These results are exploratory as our sample size was relatively small. However, the results are promising and suggest further research in understanding the relationship between the microbiome and language conditions should be conducted.

This support will help launch a new phase of my research collecting saliva and dental calculus samples from pregnant women to generate pilot data for future studies. The goal is to better understand how maternal oral health and biological markers relate to pregnancy outcomes.

In my case. I guess we built the ‘minimal’ aDNA lab. With good results and neglectable levels of modern DNA contamination. An order of magnitude cheaper than GN aDNA labs. aDNA libraries built in this lab ended up in these papers: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... elifesciences.org/articles/68612
