Integrating current analyses of the breast cancer microbiome

This paper integrates existing studies on the breast cancer microbiome to reassess findings and perform a meta-analysis to identify trends and differences across patient cohorts.

Revaluation of old data with new techniques reveals novel insights into the celiac microbiome

The paper reanalyzes existing microbiome data from celiac disease studies using new computational tools, confirming prior findings and uncovering new insights into the microbiome of India and Mexico.

Celiac dysbiosis does not transcend geographic boundaries

The paper analyzes global microbiome data from celiac disease patients to determine if there is a consistent dysbiosis pattern, finding no such pattern and suggesting dysbiosis is a result of the disease.

Interspecies variation in hominid gut microbiota controls host gene regulation

The paper investigates how interspecies variation in hominid gut microbiota affects host gene regulation in colonic epithelial cells, finding species-specific gene responses linked to inflammatory diseases.

Shared and disease-specific host gene-microbiome interactions across human diseases

This study identifies shared and disease-specific host-microbiome interactions in colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome using machine learning.

Gut microbiota has a widespread and modifiable effect on host gene regulation

The paper shows gut microbiota influences host gene regulation, identifying specific taxa and genes, and demonstrates microbiome manipulation can alter gene expression profiles.

Interaction Between Host MicroRNAs and the Gut Microbiota in Colorectal Cancer

The paper investigates the relationship between miRNA expression in CRC tissues and microbiome composition, identifying miRNAs correlated with bacterial taxa and suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

Ecological and evolutionary adaptations shape the gut microbiome of BaAka African rainforest hunter-gatherers

The paper examines the gut microbiome and metabolome of BaAka hunter-gatherers, finding adaptations to their diet and immune system tolerance of pathogens.
