TL;DR: Within two African populations, it is found that bacterial diversity per individual and within-population phylogenetic dissimilarity differs between Botswanan and Tanzanian populations, with Tanzania generally having higher diversity per Individual and lower Dissimilarity between individuals.

TL;DR: Gut microbiome composition predicts ANTS positivity with 80% accuracy and Colonization with ANTS, in turn, is associated with elevated levels of TH1, TH2, and proinflammatory cytokines, indicating an association with multiple immune mechanisms.

TL;DR: It is postulate that CNDs of these conserved sequences fine-tune developmental pathways by altering the levels of RNA.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Peruvian Central Andean population structure cannot be parsimoniously explained as the sole outcome of combined Inca and Spanish policies on the region's population demography: highland populations differed from coastal and lowland populations in mtDNA genetic structure only; highland groups also showed strong evidence of female-biased gene flow and/or effective sizes relative to other Peruvian ecozones.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in primates, the QA ratio of the Runx2 gene may play a role in modulating facial size, but not facial orientation, and provide important clues about the genetic and developmental mechanisms that may underlie variation in facial form in primates.
