Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) have fostered rapid developments in the
field of microbiome research, and massive microbiome datasets are now being generated …

With the gradual maturity of sequencing technology, many microbiome studies have
published, driving the emergence and advance of related analysis tools. R language is the …

The gut microbiome is an important determinant in various diseases. Here we perform a
cross-sectional study of Japanese adults and identify the Blautia genus, especially B …

Root-associated microbiomes contribute to plant growth and health, and are dynamically
affected by plant development and changes in the soil environment. However, how different …

For decades, variability in clinical efficacy of the widely used inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) drug 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) has been attributed, in part, to its acetylation and …

TH 2 cells and innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2) can stimulate tumor growth by secreting pro-
tumorigenic cytokines such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, and IL-13. However, the …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …

Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on …

Wetland soils are the greatest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a critical greenhouse gas and
ozone depleter released by microbes. Yet, microbial players and processes underlying the …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …
