TL;DR: In conclusion, inflammation status (assessed by the blood C-reactive protein and stool calprotectin) is likely correlated with the abundance of a subgroup of E. coli strains with specific traits, and strain-level time-series analysis of dominant E.ccoli strains in a CD patient is highly informative, and motivates a study of a larger cohort of IBD patients.

TL;DR: Functional pathways related to trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase and Kdo2-lipid A biosynthesis were altered in schizophrenia and were associated with inflammatory cytokines and risk for coronary heart disease in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The existing tools and development efforts to capture portions of the information needed to construct a KB of all known human microbiome-disease associations are surveyed and the need for additional innovations in natural language processing, text mining, taxonomic representations, and field-wide vocabulary standardization in human microbiome research is highlighted.

TL;DR: Redbiom is introduced, a microbiome caching layer, which allows users to rapidly query samples that contain a given feature, retrieve sample data and metadata, and search for samples that match specified metadata values or ranges using an in-memory NoSQL database called Redis.

TL;DR: Untargeted mass spectrometry approaches were applied to capture the chemical space and dispersal patterns of metabolites from an in-house library of marine cyanobacterial and algal collections, supporting the hypothesis that marine Cyanobacteria and algae possess distinctive metabolomes.
