This study shows that habituation in black bears alters their gut microbiome composition and function, leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and other health-related changes.

The paper identifies immunomodulatory bacterial microproteins from Leptotrichia using a microproteome screen and shows they influence macrophage polarization.

This paper describes a study on participant engagement and feedback in microbiome projects in Africa, finding that culturally appropriate and timely feedback can improve trust and motivate health behaviors.

The paper evaluates the Illumina Complete Long Read (ICLR) assay for metagenomic assembly, finding it produces higher contiguity and completeness compared to short-read and nanopore long-read methods.

This study expands the human gut microbiome atlas of Africa by analyzing 1,803 women from four countries, revealing geographic and lifestyle-associated taxa and novel microbial genomes.

This study uses short- and long-read metagenomics to analyze gut microbiomes in South African populations, revealing intermediate composition and novel taxa not captured by existing reference databases.

The paper introduces a method to generate closed bacterial genomes from nanopore long-read sequencing of microbiomes, achieving nine finished genomes including a closed genome of Prevotella copri.
