Blautia is a genus of anaerobic bacteria with probiotic characteristics that occur widely in the
feces and intestines of mammals. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, some …

Gut microbiota has evolved along with their hosts and is an integral part of the human body.
Microbiota acquired at birth develops in parallel as the host develops and maintains its …

The incidence of sporadic young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) is increasing. A significant
knowledge gap exists in the gut microbiota and its diagnostic value for yCRC patients …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third commonest cause of death
globally, and manifests as a progressive inflammatory lung disease with no curative …

Reference genomes are essential for metagenomic analyses and functional characterization
of the human gut microbiota. We present the Culturable Genome Reference (CGR), a …

Although humans have cospeciated with their gut-resident microbes, it is difficult to infer
features of our ancestral microbiome. Here, we examine the microbiome profile of 350 stool …

The host‐associated core microbiome was originally coined to refer to common groups of
microbes or genes that were likely to be particularly important for host biological function …

Humans are virtually identical in their genetic makeup, yet the small differences in our DNA
give rise to tremendous phenotypic diversity across the human population. By contrast, the …

Objective The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) is steadily increasing.
Here, we aimed to characterise the interactions between gut microbiome, metabolites and …

Background Gut microbiota plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to assess the contribution of gut microbiota …
