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 …

The human body is home to a variety of micro-organisms. Most of these microbial
communities reside in the gut and are referred to as gut microbiota. Over the last decades …

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 …

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

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

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 …

Heteroplasmy occurs when wild-type and mutant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecules co-
exist in single cells. Heteroplasmy levels change dynamically in development, disease and …

The development and continuous improvement of high-throughput sequencing platforms
