The study identifies oral microbial signatures associated with IBD and PSC and their potential translocation to the gut, supported by external validation.

This paper introduces VIP2B, a method to extract viral features from bulk metagenomes, showing that viral data improves disease diagnosis and reveals distinct gut virome community states.

This study investigates how probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis V9 competes with native gut bacteria, finding that a high-fiber diet enhances its colonization and competition with Parabacteroides distasonis.

This study uses computational methods and metagenomic data to identify microbial strains that can inhibit CDI, supporting the design of live biotherapeutic products.

The paper introduces MAP2B, a metagenomic profiler that reduces false positives and improves abundance estimation using type IIB restriction sites, outperforming existing methods on benchmark datasets.

This paper highlights challenges in benchmarking metagenomic profilers due to confusion between sequence abundance and taxonomic abundance.
