- Correlation of Microbiome to Psoriasis via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be correlated with specific Psoriasis types
- Validation of Sequencing Methods [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To validate the methods used to sequence samples
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
