The paper develops a skin metatranscriptomics workflow to analyze microbial gene activity across five skin sites in 27 healthy adults, revealing discrepancies between transcriptomic and genomic abundances and identifying key microbial pathways and antimicrobial genes.

The paper introduces a method to identify direct protein substrates of small-molecule degraders using degradome analysis and mass spectrometry.

The paper analyzes gut metagenomes of Asian octogenarians to identify age-related microbial shifts and their associations with aging phenotypes.

The paper uses long-read and Hi-C technologies to analyze gut microbiomes from Southeast Asians, revealing novel species, improved references, and uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters.

The paper characterizes the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of gut microbiomes colonized by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) using longitudinal metagenomics and whole genome sequencing.

This paper introduces a hybrid metagenomic assembler that improves assembly quality and enables high-resolution analysis of resistance determinants and mobile elements in the human gut microbiome.

The paper identifies specific bacterial species associated with gut microbiome recovery after antibiotic use and shows their role in promoting microbial diversity and preventing pathogen colonization.

The paper develops a MinION-based pipeline for DNA barcoding that generates accurate barcodes for up to 1000 specimens per flowcell at a low cost.
