Ecology drives a global network of gene exchange connecting the human microbiome

TL;DR: A vast, human-associated network of gene exchange, large enough to directly compare the principal forces shaping HGT is reported, which offers a window into the molecular traits that define ecological niches and insight that is used to uncover sources of antibiotic resistance and identify genes associated with the pathology of meningitis and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling the processes shaping mammalian gut microbiomes over evolutionary time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that host phylogeny and major dietary shifts have affected the distribution of different gut bacterial lineages and did so on vastly different bacterial phylogenetic resolutions.
