Multi-domain analysis of the fecal microbiome of dairy heifers, beef heifers, bred beef heifers, and adult beef cows in the central United States using paired 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA metabarcoding

This study analyzes the fecal microbiome of cattle using 16S and 18S rRNA metabarcoding to assess the impact of age and management on prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities.

MeLSI: Metric Learning for Statistical Inference in Microbiome Community Composition Analysis

MeLSI learns data-adaptive distance metrics for microbiome community composition analysis, improving detection of biologically meaningful differences compared to fixed metrics.

Eco-tank Housing Maintains Wild-Type Microbiota and Rewilds the Laboratory Mouse Gut Microbiome to Restore Natural Immune Tone

The paper introduces an Eco-tank system to restore microbial diversity and immune function in laboratory mice by simulating natural environmental conditions.

Alamandine/MrgD Pathway Modulates Gut-Bone Marrow Axis in Aging

This study shows that alamandine improves intestinal barrier function and modulates the gut-bone marrow axis in aging mice.

Biological and technical variability in mouse microbiome analysis and implications for sample size determination

This study quantifies biological and technical variability in mouse microbiome analysis and provides guidance on sample size determination for microbiome studies.

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.

A novel dataset of 2,362 equine fecal microbiomes from eight veterinary teaching hospital on three continents reveals dominant effects of geography, breed, and disease

The paper presents a large-scale equine fecal microbiome dataset and shows geography, breed, and disease significantly influence the microbiome.

Intestinal Dysbiosis Alters Acute Seizure Burden and Antiseizure Medicine Activity in the Theiler's Virus Model of Encephalitis

This study shows that antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis alters seizure burden and carbamazepine anticonvulsant activity in a Theiler's virus encephalitis model without affecting drug plasma concentrations.

Free-living food intake and repopulation of the gut microbiota after a health-screening colonoscopy

This study examines gut microbiota repopulation and dietary intake patterns after a colonoscopy, showing increased energy intake and changes in fiber consumption correlate with microbial diversity shifts.

Failure of colonization following gut microbiota transfer exacerbates DSS-induced colitis

This study shows that failed microbial colonization after gut microbiota transfer worsens DSS-induced colitis in mice, highlighting the role of microbial composition and transfer method.

Timing of standard chow exposure determines the variability of mouse phenotypic outcomes and gut microbiota profile

This study shows that lifetime exposure to different chow diets significantly affects mouse phenotypes and gut microbiota, while developmental exposure reduces variability.

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.

Diet composition and sterilization modifies intestinal microbiome diversity and burden of Theiler's virus infection-induced acute seizures

This study examines how diet and sterilization affect gut microbiome diversity and acute seizure incidence in TMEV-infected mice, finding diet impacts seizure frequency and behavioral outcomes.

Fecal Dysbiosis and Inflammation in Intestinal-Specific Cftr Knockout Mice on Regimens Preventing Intestinal Obstruction

This study shows that intestinal epithelial-specific loss of CFTR in mice leads to intestinal dysbiosis and inflammation, similar to global Cftr KO mice.

The contribution of maternal oral, vaginal, and gut microbiota to the developing offspring gut

The paper investigates how maternal oral, vaginal, and gut microbiota influence the development of the neonatal gut microbiota in mice using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Calorie Restriction Prevents Age-Related Changes in the Intestinal Microbiota

This study shows that calorie restriction in mice increases microbial diversity and prevents age-related microbiome changes, maintaining a younger microbial and metabolite profile.
