This study identifies epigenetic phase variation in the gut microbiome, showing it enhances bacterial adaptation through gene regulation and bet-hedging strategies.

The paper assesses low-biomass microbiome detection in tissues using long-read sequencing, finding that genuine microbiome signals are limited to tissues with natural microbial exposure.

This study introduces LongTrack, a long-read metagenomics framework for precise strain tracking in FMT, revealing genomic changes in engrafted bacteria over time.

The paper analyzes fecal metagenomic data from NSCLC patients to identify Akkermansia phylogroups associated with response to PD-1 blockade, finding AmIa linked to better outcomes.

mEnrich-seq selectively sequences specific bacterial taxa from microbiome samples by using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes to enrich target DNA while depleting background microbiota.
