The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Host-microbiota interactions involving inflammatory and metabolic pathways have been
linked to the pathogenesis of multiple immune-mediated diseases and metabolic conditions …

Background: Accumulating evidence has shown that disorders in the gut microbiota and
derived metabolites affect the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease …

Introduction Several studies have reported alterations in gut microbiota composition of
Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, the observed differences are not consistent …

Microbial marker-gene sequence data can be used to generate comprehensive taxonomic
profiles of the microorganisms present in a given community and for other community …

The microbiome can promote or disrupt human health by influencing both adaptive and
innate immune functions. We tested whether bacteria that normally reside on human skin …

The development and continuous improvement of high-throughput sequencing platforms

Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are promising agents for unresectable
hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), but lack effective biomarker to predict outcomes. The gut …

Designing primers for PCR-based taxonomic surveys that amplify a broad range of
phylotypes in varied community samples is a difficult challenge, and the comparability of …

Gut dysbiosis might underlie the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. In mice of the non-obese
