PHLAME improves strain-resolved metagenomic analysis by combining reference-based methods with novelty detection, revealing new intraspecies associations in human microbiomes.

This paper compares microbiome analysis methods for low biomass skin samples, finding that metagenomics captures diversity better than 16S amplicon sequencing.

This study shows that high-dose application of commensal skin bacteria delays wound healing and increases inflammation in mice.

This paper describes an engineered E. coli system that senses Candida albicans via HPA and inhibits hypha formation to reduce virulence.
