The paper compiles 2,658 Desulfovibrio genomes from 90 diseases and 32 countries to identify species-specific functional traits linked to inflammatory diseases.

The paper identifies a novel subspecies of Bifidobacterium longum, BL. nexti, in infant gut microbiomes, showing its association with formula feeding and vertical transmission.

SAMPL-seq identifies spatial hubs in the human gut microbiome by sampling micron-scale sub-communities and analyzing microbial co-occurrence across individuals and time.

The paper introduces StrainTrack, a method to track bacterial strains in metagenomes and identifies shared strains between twins.
