Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Samantha Howe's research focuses on the study of microbial communities in livestock, particularly their diversity, composition, and functional roles. Her work has explored the gut microbiome of pigs, investigating the impact of weaning on archaeal community structure and functional potential. Howe has also contributed to the understanding of culturomics as an approach to studying human and animal microbiota, highlighting its application in various biological questions. Her publications examine the diversity and metabolic pathways of archaea in pigs and emphasize their underestimation in livestock animal research. Additionally, she has investigated the colonization and expression profiles of probiotic strains in humans and animals using metagenomic and meta-transcriptomic analyses. Howe holds a h-index of 8 with 20 publications and 252 citations. She has collaborated with Jiangchao Zhao, Charles V Maxwell, Alisun Watson, and E. B. Kegley at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
