Predictive Metabolomic Profiling of Microbial Communities Using Amplicon or Metagenomic Sequences
Researchers create a novel computer model that predicts the metabolic activity of new microbial communities using widely available metagenomic sequencing.
Mapping Human Microbiome Drug Metabolism by Gut Bacteria and Their Genes
In a recent study published in Nature by Zimmerman (et.al), researchers begin to uncover how intestinal bacteria chemically modify prescription drugs.
Multi-omics of the Gut Microbial Ecosystem in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
In a recently published paper in Nature, Lloyd-Price (et.al) provide a comprehensive analysis of the longitudinal variation in the gut microbiome of patients with IBD.
