TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed metagenomic sequencing of fifty chicken faecal samples from two breeds and analysed these, alongside all (n = 582) relevant publicly available chicken metagenomes, to cluster over 20 million non-redundant genes and to construct over 5,500 metagenome-assembled bacterial genomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the gut microbiome of patients with Parkinson's disease using metagenomics and serum metabolomics and integrated these data using metabolic modeling and constructed an integrative correlation network giving insight into key microbial species linked with disease severity, GI dysfunction, and age.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the processes in 5,278 adult and infant fecal metagenomes, longitudinally sampled in individuals and families and found that a subset of gut species is extremely persistent in individuals, families, and geographic regions, represented often by locally successful strains of Bacteroidota.

TL;DR: The authors' analyses suggest that bacterial community compositions at the poles are more similar to each other than they are to geographically closer temperate habitats, with 32% of all operational taxonomic units (OTUs) co-occurring in both polar regions.
