Population stratification is a useful approach for a better understanding of complex
biological problems in human health and wellbeing. The proposal that such stratification …

The particularly interdisciplinary nature of human microbiome research makes the
organization and reporting of results spanning epidemiology, biology, bioinformatics …

Microbes are dominant drivers of biogeochemical processes, yet drawing a global picture of
functional diversity, microbial community structure, and their ecological determinants …

A few commonly used non-antibiotic drugs have recently been associated with changes in
gut microbiome composition, but the extent of this phenomenon is unknown. Here, we …

The increased availability of large-scale open-access resources on bioactivities of small
molecules has a significant impact on pharmacology facilitated mainly by computational …

We systematically generated large-scale data sets to improve genome annotation for the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a key model organism. These data sets include …

Several bacterial species have been implicated in the development of colorectal carcinoma
(CRC), but CRC‐associated changes of fecal microbiota and their potential for cancer …

Association studies have linked microbiome alterations with many human diseases.
However, they have not always reported consistent results, thereby necessitating cross …

The genomes of individuals from the same species vary in sequence as a result of different
evolutionary processes. To examine the patterns of, and the forces shaping, sequence …

Technical variation in metagenomic analysis must be minimized to confidently assess the
contributions of microbiota to human health. Here we tested 21 representative DNA …
