This study shows that the maternal microbiome influences offspring behavior, body weight, and hippocampal DNA methylation and gene expression.

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.

This study shows that lifetime exposure to different chow diets significantly affects mouse phenotypes and gut microbiota, while developmental exposure reduces variability.

The paper investigates how shipping affects the gut microbiome of donor mice and shows that shipping-induced changes are transmitted to germ-free recipients, though supplier-origin effects remain more prominent.

The paper investigates how maternal oral, vaginal, and gut microbiota influence the development of the neonatal gut microbiota in mice using 16S rRNA sequencing.

The paper introduces MiniMUGA, a genotyping array for mouse genetic QC, showing it effectively discriminates strains, detects genetic constructs, and identifies sex chromosome abnormalities.
