Nature Microbiology - A comparison of sequencing of complex mock communities performed at multiple depths and analysed using different methods establishes minimum standards that can ensure the...

A metagenomic survey of babies attending the first year of nursery detected extensive baby-to-baby microbial strain transmission, pointing to social interactions in infancy as crucial drivers of infan...

Human DNA is unavoidably present in metagenomic analyses of human microbiomes. While current protocols remove human DNA before submission to public repositories, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been ove...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors present and characterise a collection of human gut bacteria including novel taxa associated with health conditions and a large diversity of plasmids. All...

Nature Biotechnology - Overcoming key hurdles for the development of next-generation anaerobic cultivation methods could have major impacts on microbial community research and applications.

Microbes within the gut vary in how they encode genes, both in terms of the genetic codes and gene structures, which are often unexplored in metagenomic analysis. Here, the authors develop a lineage-s...
