Open AccessAbrupt perturbation and delayed recovery of the vaginal ecosystem following childbirth
The vaginal ecosystem is closely tied to human health and reproductive outcomes, yet its dynamics in the wake of childbirth remain poorly characterized. Here, we profile the vaginal microbiota and cytokine mil...

Open AccessMicrobiota assembly, structure, and dynamics among Tsimane horticulturalists of the Bolivian Amazon
Selective and neutral forces shape human microbiota assembly in early life. The Tsimane are an indigenous Bolivian population with infant care-associated behaviors predicted to increase mother-infant microbial...

Open AccessCandidatus Mycoplasma girerdii replicates, diversifies, and co-occurs with Trichomonas vaginalis in the oral cavity of a premature infant
Genital mycoplasmas, which can be vertically transmitted, have been implicated in preterm birth, neonatal infections, and chronic lung disease of prematurity. Our prior work uncovered 16S rRNA genes belonging ...

Water-Soluble Osmium Complexes Suitable for use in Luminescence-Based, Hydrogel-Supported Sensors
Osmium transition metal complexes are of particular interest in luminescence-based sensing applications because of their longer wavelength absorptions and emissions, relative to similar ruthenium and rhenium c...

Open AccessMarine mammals harbor unique microbiotas shaped by and yet distinct from the sea
Marine mammals play crucial ecological roles in the oceans, but little is known about their microbiotas. Here we study the bacterial communities in 337 samples from 5 body sites in 48 healthy dolphins and 18 h...

Immaturity in the gut microbial community
Undernourished children fall behind not only on growth, but also on maturation of their intestinal bacterial communities, according to a study comparing acutely malnourished and healthy Bangladeshi children. See ...

Open AccessMoving pictures of the human microbiome
Understanding the normal temporal variation in the human microbiome is critical to develo** treatments for putative microbiome-related afflictions such as obesity, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease...

Minimum information about a marker gene sequence (MIMARKS) and minimum information about any (x) sequence (MIxS) specifications
Here we present a standard developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for reporting marker gene sequences—the minimum information about a marker gene sequence (MIMARKS). We also introduce a system for...

Direct sequencing of the human microbiome readily reveals community differences
Culture-independent studies of human microbiota by direct genomic sequencing reveal quite distinct differences among communities, indicating that improved sequencing capacity can be most wisely utilized to stu...

Open AccessEnvironmental DNA sequencing primers for eutardigrades and bdelloid rotifers
The time it takes to isolate individuals from environmental samples and then extract DNA from each individual is one of the problems with generating molecular data from meiofauna such as eutardigrades and bdel...
