Gut microbiota includes a vast collection of microorganisms residing within the
gastrointestinal tract. It is broadly recognized that the gut and brain are in constant …

Studies using 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomics typically yield different results, usually
attributed to PCR amplification biases. We introduce Greengenes2, a reference tree that …

Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the
relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We …

The rapid rise in atopy and asthma in industrialized nations has led to the identification of
early life environmental factors that promote these conditions and spurred research into how …

Sequencing-based approaches for the analysis of microbial communities are susceptible to
contamination, which could mask biological signals or generate artifactual ones. Methods for …

While the field of microbial biogeography has largely focused on the contributions of abiotic
factors to community patterns, the potential influence of biotic interactions in structuring …

Multi-omics analysis is a powerful tool for the detection and study of inter-kingdom
interactions, such as those between bacterial and archaeal members of complex biogas …

Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents a ubiquitous molecular mixture,
progressively characterized by spatiotemporal resolution. However, an inadequate …

Covering: 1995 to 2023Advances in bioanalytical methods, particularly mass spectrometry,
have provided valuable molecular insights into the mechanisms of life. Non-targeted …

Soil is an extremely complex and dynamic matrix, in part, due to the wide diversity of
organisms living within it. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the fundamental substrate on which …
