Detection of phylogenetic core groups in diverse microbial ecosystems

The paper identifies phylogenetic core groups (PCGs) in diverse microbial ecosystems and provides scripts to analyze their presence in other datasets.

Assessment of phylo-functional coherence along the bacterial phylogeny and taxonomy

The paper assesses phylogenetic and functional coherence in bacteria across taxonomic ranks and phylogenies, finding that functional coherence is limited to specific nodes and recommending broader taxonomic ranks for 16S rRNA gene analysis.

A comprehensive human minimal gut metagenome extends the host’s metabolic potential

The paper defines a comprehensive minimal gut metagenome across diverse populations, identifying 3,412 gene clusters that contribute to universal human metabolic pathways.
