This study examines how industrialization affects the gut microbiome of domestic dogs across different lifestyles and finds that lifestyle is the strongest correlate of microbiome composition, with industrialization causing directional genus-level turnover and shifts in functional potential.

This study identifies oral microbiome and metabolome signatures associated with obesity through a multi-omics analysis of 192 matched samples from 628 Emirati adults.

This study characterizes microbial communities in 90 fermented foods from four countries, showing that food substrate type most influences bacterial communities, with distinct pathways and interactions across plant, legume, and animal-based ferments.

The paper reassesses pathogenicity of variants in inherited retinal diseases using population-scale genomics in the UAE, identifying clinically relevant variants and highlighting discrepancies between clinical and population-based classifications.

This study examines oral microbiomes of Nepali individuals with different lifestyles, finding that lifestyle, not geography, shapes microbiome composition across a gradient from foraging to industrialized.

The paper identifies risk factors for canine overweightness and obesity using survey data from 4,446 dogs, finding associations with diet, exercise, age, and probiotic use.
