Short Course in the Microbiome
Kimberly Falana,Rob Knight,Camilia R. Martin,Romina S. Goldszmid,K. Leigh Greathouse,Joanne Gere,Howard A. Young,Winston Patrick Kuo +7 more
TL;DR: The short course was held as a four-session webinar series in April 2015, taught by pioneers and experts in the microbiome ecosystem, covering a broad range of topics from the healthy microbiome to the effects of an altered microbiome from neonates to adults and the long term effects as it is related to disease.

Salivary bacterial signatures in depression-obesity comorbidity are associated with neurotransmitters and neuroactive dipeptides
Suzi Hong,Gajender Aleti,Jordan N. Kohn,Emily A. Troyer,Kelly C. Weldon,Kelly C. Weldon,Shi Huang,Anupriya Tripathi,Anupriya Tripathi,Pieter C. Dorrestein,Austin D. Swafford,Rob Knight +11 more
TL;DR: Together, the findings offer novel insights into oral microbial-brain connection and potential neuroactive metabolites involved and significant changes in levels of signaling molecules of microbiota, microbial or dietary derived signaling peptides and aromatic amino acids among host phenotypes are revealed.

TL;DR: In this article , a detailed spatial sampling of three isolation housing units, assessing each sample for SARS-CoV-2 abundance by RT-qPCR, linking the results to 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences (to assess the bacterial community at each location), and to the Cq value of the contemporaneous clinical test.

A scale-free, fully connected global transition network underlies known microbiome diversity
TL;DR: By traversing a composition-similarity based network of 177,022 microbiomes, it is shown that although the compositions are distinct by habitat, each microbiome is on-average only seven neighbors from any other microbiome on Earth, indicating the inherent homology of microbiome at the global scale.
