Shifts in the human gut microbiome during cancer chemotherapy are diet-dependent

This study shows diet changes during cancer chemotherapy affect gut microbiome composition and diversity, with specific nutrients linked to microbial shifts and toxicity.

A widespread gut bacterial lineage distinguished by redox metabolism and phage defense

The paper isolates and analyzes E. lenta genomes, revealing a distinct lineage associated with inflammation and highlighting its population structure and functional diversity.

Comprehensive Cross-Domain Taxonomic Classification of Microbiotas using Partitioned Amplification Multiplexed Amplicon Sequencing (PAMA-seq)

The paper introduces PAMA-seq, a method for cross-domain microbial taxonomic profiling, validated on synthetic and real samples, showing improved accuracy and efficiency over existing methods.

Expansion of a bacterial operon during cancer treatment ameliorates drug toxicity

The paper shows that a bacterial operon in the gut microbiome can reduce drug toxicity during cancer treatment by inactivating 5-fluorouracil.
