The paper introduces IIBacFinder to identify unmodified class II bacteriocins in the human gut microbiome, showing their widespread distribution and biosynthetic potential.

This study identifies diverse ribosomally synthesized peptides in the human microbiome and shows some inhibit pathogens and reduce inflammation.

DeePVP improves PVP identification and classification using deep learning, achieving higher accuracy than existing tools in both tasks.

The paper characterizes the vaginal microbiome and sialidase activity in 2689 Chinese pregnant women, finding no association with preterm birth risk.
