Measuring Causal Specificity. Supplementary Online Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to measure causal specificity using tools from information theory, and demonstrate the tractability and interest of their proposed measure by measuring the specificity of coding DNA and other factors in a simple model of the production of mRNA.

TL;DR: This study provides a framework for future multi‐omic, multibody site analyses on these high‐risk preterm infant populations and suggests opportunities for monitoring and intervention, with infant antibiotic exposure as the primary driver of delays in microbiome development.

Reply to Putignani et al.: Vagina as a major source of natural inoculum for the newborn
TL;DR: It is suggested that poor representation of lactobacilli is not necessarily pathologic, and vaginal communities not dominated by lactOBacilli but by strictly anaerobic bacteria were common in healthy black and Hispanic women.
Journal ArticleDOI
The promise of the microbiome: Function and dysfunction in humans and beyond
TL;DR: Efforts in environmental and agricultural research, for example, reflect a growing interest in the relevance of nonhuman microbiomes, and recent discoveries indicate a role of the microbiome in specific physical conditions and disease states.
