Infant gut bacteriophage strain persistence during the first three years of life

Y. C. Lou, L. Chen, A. L. Borges, J. A. West-Roberts, B. A. Firek, M. Morowitz, J. Banfield

The paper investigates phage succession in infants over three years, finding that 9% of early phage colonizers persist, with maternal transmission and stop codon reassignment playing key roles.

Infant gut strain persistence is associated with maternal origin, phylogeny, and functional potential including surface adhesion and iron acquisition

Y. C. Lou, M. R. Olm, S. Diamond, A. Crits-Christoph, B. A. Firek, R. Baker, M. Morowitz, J. F. Banfield

The paper investigates factors influencing gut microbiome strain persistence in infants, finding maternal origin and specific genetic functions are associated with strain survival.

InStrain enables population genomic analysis from metagenomic data and rigorous detection of identical microbial strains

M. R. Olm, A. Crits-Christoph, K. Bouma-Gregson, B. Firek, M. Morowitz, J. Banfield

InStrain analyzes metagenomic data to detect microbial strain diversity and finds siblings share more strains than unrelated infants, but identical twins do not share more than fraternal siblings.

Clades of huge phage from across Earth’s ecosystems

B. Al-Shayeb, R. Sachdeva, L.-X. Chen, F. Ward, P. Munk, A. Devoto, C. J. Castelle, M. R. Olm, K. Bouma-Gregson, Y. Amano, C. He, R. Meheust, B. Brooks, A. Thomas, A. Lavy, , J. F. Banfield

The paper identifies major clades of large phage genomes across diverse ecosystems and highlights their expanded genetic repertoires and potential functional roles.

Shifts in microbial transcription patterns prior to onset of Necrotizing enterocolitis may indicate low oxygen levels in the gut

Y. Sher, M. R. Olm, T. Raveh-Sadka, C. T. Brown, R. Sher, B. Firek, R. Baker, M. Morowitz, J. Banfield

The paper identifies shifts in microbial transcription patterns in preterm infants prior to NEC onset, suggesting hypoxic conditions in the gut.
