Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Determinants of the Gut Microbiome in UK Twins
Julia K. Goodrich,Emily R. Davenport,Michelle Beaumont,Matthew A. Jackson,Rob Knight,Carole Ober,Tim D. Spector,Jordana T. Bell,Andrew G. Clark,Ruth E. Ley,Ruth E. Ley +10 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that diet-sensing, metabolism, and immune defense are important drivers of human-microbiome co-evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomic classification of bacterial 16S rRNA genes using short sequencing reads: evaluation of effective study designs.
TL;DR: It is concluded that with a judicious selection of the sequenced region and the corresponding choice of a suitable training set for taxonomic classification, it is possible to explore bacterial communities at great depth using current technologies, with only a minimal loss of taxonomic resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation in human gut microbiome composition.
Emily R. Davenport,Orna Mizrahi-Man,Katelyn Michelini,Luis B. Barreiro,Carole Ober,Yoav Gilad +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that despite overall gut microbiome stability within individuals over time, there are consistent and significant population-wide shifts in microbiome composition across seasons, demonstrating the plastic nature of the human gut microbiome in response to variation in diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-species comparisons of host genetic associations with the microbiome
Julia K. Goodrich,Emily R. Davenport,Jillian L. Waters,Jillian L. Waters,Andrew G. Clark,Ruth E. Ley,Ruth E. Ley +6 more
TL;DR: The next generation of genome-wide association studies will expand the size of the data sets and refine the microbial phenotypes to fully capture these intriguing signatures of host-microbiome coevolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship Between the Human Genome and Microbiome Comes into View
TL;DR: The microbiome needs to be incorporated into studies that quantify interactions among genotype, environment, and the microbiome in order to predict human disease susceptibility, and to identify human genetic variants associated with microbiome phenotypes.
