This study compares Megasphaera elsdenii genomes from human and animal gut isolates, finding they are genetically similar and share metabolic functions, with no host-specific clustering or virulence genes.

The paper identifies a psoriasis risk allele that affects gene regulation specifically in memory Th1/Th17 cells, linking it to increased T cell activation during infection.

This study identifies two ecological guilds in the gut microbiome of tuberculosis patients that exhibit distinct metabolic profiles linked to disease.

The paper identifies candidate SNPs under natural selection in autoimmune disorder risk loci and shows they colocalize with selected variants, suggesting functional relevance and implications for autoimmunity.
