Do gut bacteria evolve differently in industrialized vs. non-industrialized humans?
Our new study reveals that industrialization drives parallel genomic adaptations across gut bacterial species worldwide:

Convergent genomic responses of human gut bacteria to variations in industrialization
To what extent gut bacteria respond to the distinct ecological pressures imposed by human lifestyle remains unclear. Here, we investigate how genomic adaptation in gut bacteria differ between industri...
