This study identifies peripheral microbial metabolites as indicators of gut microbiome disruption, showing they can distinguish microbiome states with performance comparable to direct sequencing.

This study evaluates the ecological fidelity of HMA mice in replicating human microbiome responses to a microbial consortium, finding they are more similar to other mice than their human donors.

This study evaluates the performance of short-read sequencing for detecting antimicrobial resistance genes in genomes and metagenomes, finding that assembly-based methods require 15X coverage for reliable detection.
