TL;DR: Disruption of the gut microbiota early in life results in exacerbation of immune responses that cause acute vascular rejection, and is related to increased infiltration of allograft arteries by neutrophils.

TL;DR: General principles to guide the use of NGS data in support of microbiological food safety are outlined, to promote the reliability, consistency, and transparency of processes used in the derivation of genomic information.

TL;DR: Microarray analyses of both host and pathogen responses hold substantial promise for the generation of databases that can be used in the future to address a wide variety of questions and a critical component limiting these comparative analyses will be the quality of the databases and the complete functional annotation of the bovine genome.

TL;DR: MicrobeDB provides a foundation for analysis of microbial genomes by the automation of downloading published, completed bacterial and archaeal genomes from key sources, parsing annotations of all genomes into a local database, and allowing interaction with the database through an easy to use programming interface.

TL;DR: It is argued that there is benefit to regarding the global human microbiome as a collective good (i.e., a Microbial Commons) and the situation where each individual benefits from overexploitation of a public resource.
