Fetal programming by the parental microbiome of offspring behavior, and DNA methylation and gene expression within the hippocampus

This study shows that the maternal microbiome influences offspring behavior, body weight, and hippocampal DNA methylation and gene expression.

Supplier-origin gut microbiomes affect host body weight and select autism-related behaviors

The paper shows that gut microbiome diversity from different suppliers affects body weight and autism-related behaviors in BTBR mice, with a male-specific behavioral impact.

Effect of shipping on the microbiome of donor mice used to reconstitute germ-free recipients

The paper investigates how shipping affects the gut microbiome of donor mice and shows that shipping-induced changes are transmitted to germ-free recipients, though supplier-origin effects remain more prominent.

Effect size of delayed freezing, diurnal variation, and hindgut location on the mouse fecal microbiome relative to a standardized biological variable

Longitudinal characterization of the captive adult and tadpole Wyoming toad (Anaxyrus baxteri) microbiome

This study characterizes the microbiome of captive Wyoming toads across life stages and identifies sex-dependent differences, providing baseline data for conservation efforts.

Multi-omics analysis of mouse fecal microbiome reveals supplier-dependent functional differences and novel metagenome-assembled genomes

This study compares the fecal microbiome of mice from two U.S. suppliers using multi-omics approaches, revealing supplier-specific functional differences and novel metagenome-assembled genomes.
