High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

With this review, we aim to increase the quality standards for clinical studies with
microbiome as an output parameter. We critically address the existing body of evidence for …

Despite advances in sequencing, lack of standardization makes comparisons across studies
challenging and hampers insights into the structure and function of microbial communities …

Abstract Summary ipyrad is a free and open source tool for assembling and analyzing
restriction site-associated DNA sequence datasets using de novo and/or reference-based …

OBJECTIVE To examine the previously unknown long-term association between gut
microbiome composition and incident type 2 diabetes in a representative population cohort …

Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) dominate modern marine habitats and account for
more than a quarter of all living vertebrate species. Previous time-calibrated phylogenies …

Microbial breakdown of organic matter is one of the most important processes on Earth, yet
the controls of decomposition are poorly understood. Here we track 36 terrestrial human …

Background Several small‐scale animal studies have suggested that gut microbiota and
blood pressure (BP) are linked. However, results from human studies remain scarce and …

Many eukaryotic transcription factors (TF) form homodimer or heterodimer complexes to
regulate gene expression. Dimerization of BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER (bZIP) TFs are critical …

Abstract The family Mutillidae (Hymenoptera) is a species‐rich group of aculeate wasps that
occur worldwide. The higher‐level classification of the family has historically been …
