The mammalian gut microbiome can be used as a noninvasive and holistic predictor of biological age.

In baboon gut microbiota, most pairwise correlations in bacterial abundances are weak and negative, and bacterial correlation patterns are largely shared across hosts, rather than personalized to each hosts.

A novel mathematical modeling framework for antibiotic-resistant bacteria combining within-host microbiome-pathogen interactions with population-level pathogen epidemiology, demonstrating how antibiotic consumption and ecological competition come together to drive the spread of resistance.

Microbiome and transcriptomic profiling of genetically selected tropical fish with high and low tolerance to cold exposure revealed host control over microbiome composition and response to temperature changes.

Gut microbial signatures of domestication parallel those of industrialization, implicating shared ecological drivers.

Higher biosynthetic capacity of gut microbes in individuals diagnosed with noncommunicable diseases or taking antibiotics suggests that diversity loss and 'dysbiosis' result from microbiome restructuring in response to ecosystem disruption.

The gut microbiome regulates protein absorption activity in lysosome-rich enterocytes (LREs) and causes broad gene expression changes, while LRE activity also affects the microbiome.

The gut microbiota of East Asians is distinct, dissociated from body mass, and self-sustains compared to White subjects from the same region, and therein may underpin a key health disparity.

A novel multi-omics framework revealed the taxonomic contribution to microbiota oxalate, demontrated O. formigenes as the dominating taxon transcriptionally, and identified specific IBD cohort at risk for oxalte toxicity.

Modeling weighted transfer ratios enable statistical analysis of maternal–infant transfer at a more general level and can indicate whether any transfer is persistent, transient, or originates from alternate sources.
