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.

Comparative Analysis of Tick Microbiomes in Remnant and Reconstructed Prairie Ecosystems

This study compares tick microbiomes in remnant and reconstructed prairies, finding that tick species identity strongly influences microbiome structure, while habitat context has a secondary effect.

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.
