Enumerating soil biodiversity
Soil is an immense habitat for diverse organisms across the tree of life, but just how many
organisms live in soil is surprisingly unknown. Previous efforts to enumerate soil biodiversity …

Greengenes2 unifies microbial data in a single reference tree
Studies using 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomics typically yield different results, usually
attributed to PCR amplification biases. We introduce Greengenes2, a reference tree that …

Multi-omics analyses of the ulcerative colitis gut microbiome link Bacteroides vulgatus proteases with disease severity
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is driven by disruptions in host–microbiota homoeostasis, but current
treatments exclusively target host inflammatory pathways. To understand how host …
