StrainCascade automates bacterial genome reconstruction and characterization using long-read sequencing, enabling high-resolution comparative genomics and functional analysis.

The paper shows how spatial structure in the gut microbiota emerges through bacterial growth in the matrix of gut content.

This study identifies ESBL-Ec in livestock and wildlife using whole-genome sequencing and phenotyping, revealing distinct genetic lineages and multidrug resistance.

This study identifies genetic local adaptation in roe deer gut microbiota across different gut compartments, showing that nutrient availability and horizontal gene transfer drive species-specific adaptation.

This study shows that neonatal microbiota colonization sequentially programs primary and secondary goblet cell functions in the colon, with MyD88 and Duox2 playing key roles in mucus barrier and sentinel cell development.

The paper shows that Mif-/- mice host a pathogenic microbiota that causes lethal disease in Il10-/- mice, revealing a mechanism of disease tolerance through microbiota transfer.

This study quantifies antimicrobial resistance in E. coli from 37 wildlife species in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, finding higher resistance in omnivores and lower rates in forested areas.

The paper shows microbiota induce AhR in enteric neurons, enabling them to respond to environmental signals.
