    Pseudogenes act as a neutral reference for detecting selection in prokaryotic pangenomes

    A long-standing question is to what degree genetic drift and selection drive the divergence in rare accessory gene content between closely related bacteria. Rare genes, including singletons, make up a large pr...

    Microbiome differential abundance methods produce different results across 38 datasets

    Identifying differentially abundant microbes is a common goal of microbiome studies. Multiple methods are used interchangeably for this purpose in the literature. Yet, there are few large-scale studies systema...

    Re-evaluating the relationship between missing heritability and the microbiome

    Human genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have recurrently estimated lower heritability estimates than familial studies. Many explanations have been suggested to explain these lower estimates, including th...

    Enhancement of the gut barrier integrity by a microbial metabolite through the Nrf2 pathway

    The importance of gut microbiota in human health and pathophysiology is undisputable. Despite the abundance of metagenomics data, the functional dynamics of gut microbiota in human health and disease remain el...

    Multi-omics differentially classify disease state and treatment outcome in pediatric Crohn’s disease

    Crohn’s disease (CD) has an unclear etiology, but there is growing evidence of a direct link with a dysbiotic microbiome. Many gut microbes have previously been associated with CD, but these have mainly been c...

    The coupling of taxonomy and function in microbiomes

    Microbiologists are transitioning from the study and characterization of individual strains or species to the profiling of whole microbiomes and microbial ecology. Equipped with high-throughput methods for stu...
