The Effect of Diet on the Human Gut Microbiome: A Metagenomic Analysis in Humanized Gnotobiotic Mice

TL;DR: A translational medicine pipeline is described where human gut microbial communities and diets are re-created in gnotobiotic mice and the impact on microbe and host is defined using metagenomics, creating a well-defined, representative animal model of the human gut ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimizing taxonomic classification of marker-gene amplicon sequences with QIIME 2’s q2-feature-classifier plugin

TL;DR: The results illustrate the importance of parameter tuning for optimizing classifier performance, and the recommendations regarding parameter choices for these classifiers under a range of standard operating conditions are made.
Journal ArticleDOI
