To the Editor—Rapid advances in DNA-sequencing and bioinformatics technologies in the
past two decades have substantially improved understanding of the microbial world. This�…

We present QIIME 2, an opensource microbiome data science platform accessible to users
spanning the microbiome research ecosystem, from scientists and engineers to clinicians�…

Many US immigrant populations develop metabolic diseases post immigration, but the
causes are not well understood. Although the microbiome plays a role in metabolic disease�…

The primate gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of bacteria, whose composition is
associated with numerous metabolic, autoimmune, and infectious human diseases�…

Diet is a key determinant of human gut microbiome variation. However, the fine-scale
relationships between daily food choices and human gut microbiome composition remain�…

Live bacteria (such as probiotics) have long been used to modulate gut microbiota and
human physiology, but their colonization is mostly transient. Conceptual understanding of�…

Although microbial communities are associated with human, environmental, plant, and
animal health, there exists no cost-effective method for precisely characterizing species and�…

Shotgun metagenomics and marker gene amplicon sequencing can be used to directly
measure or predict the functional repertoire of the microbiota en masse, but current methods�…

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is now widely used to treat recurrent Clostridium
difficile infection, but has been less studied as a means to restore microbiome diversity and�…

The early-life intestinal microbiota plays a key role in shaping host immune system
development. We found that a single early-life antibiotic course (1PAT) accelerated type 1�…
