We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

Our understanding of the human gut microbiome continues to evolve at a rapid pace, but
practical application of thisknowledge is still in its infancy. This review discusses the type of …

Antibiotics are used to fight pathogens but also target commensal bacteria, disturbing the
composition of gut microbiota and causing dysbiosis and disease. Despite this well-known …

During the transition from a healthy state to cardiometabolic disease, patients become
heavily medicated, which leads to an increasingly aberrant gut microbiome and serum …

In most cases of sporadic colorectal cancers, tumorigenesis is a multistep process, involving
genomic alterations in parallel with morphologic changes. In addition, accumulating …

Association studies have linked microbiome alterations with many human diseases.
However, they have not always reported consistent results, thereby necessitating cross …

Natural microbial communities are phylogenetically and metabolically diverse. In addition to
underexplored organismal groups, this diversity encompasses a rich discovery potential for …

Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive
metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming …

Motivation Estimating microbial association networks from high-throughput sequencing data
is a common exploratory data analysis approach aiming at understanding the complex …

The genome sequences of many species of the human gut microbiome remain unknown,
largely owing to challenges in cultivating microorganisms under laboratory conditions. Here …
