Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a method of determining microbial identities and/or abundances in a biological sample. The method may comprise: (a) immobilizing the biological sample in a matrix; (b) fracturing/breaking the matrix (that comprises the biological sample) into clusters; and (c) determining identities and/or abundances of microbes in the clusters.
