Social behaviour and gut microbiota in red-bellied lemurs (Eulemur rubriventer): In search of the role of immunity in the evolution of sociality
Aura Raulo,Aura Raulo,Lasse Ruokolainen,Avery Lane,Avery Lane,Katherine R. Amato,Katherine R. Amato,Rob Knight,Steven R. Leigh,Steven R. Leigh,Rebecca M. Stumpf,Rebecca M. Stumpf,Bryan A. White,Karen E. Nelson,Andrea L. Baden,Stacey R. Tecot +15 more
TL;DR: Red-bellied lemurs were found to have gut microbiota with slight temporal fluctuations and strong social group-specific composition, and individual sociality was negatively associated with gut microbial diversity, however, position within the social network predicted gut microbial composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Activation of Hepatic Invariant NKT Cell Subsets Plays a Key Role in Progression of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
Igor Maricic,Idania Marrero,Akiko Eguchi,Ryota Nakamura,Casey D. Johnson,Suryasarathi Dasgupta,Carolyn Hernandez,Phirum Nguyen,Austin D. Swafford,Rob Knight,Ariel E. Feldstein,Rohit Loomba,Vipin Kumar +12 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that the differential activation of iNKT cells play a key role in mediating diet-induced hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in mice and its potential involvement in NASH progression in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH is a good predictor of the distribution of anoxygenic purple phototrophic bacteria in Arctic soils
Youzhi Feng,Paul Grogan,J. Gregory Caporaso,J. Gregory Caporaso,Huayong Zhang,Xiangui Lin,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Haiyan Chu +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the AnPPB community in Arctic soils is as diverse and abundant as that in lower latitudes and pH could be a key factor driving phylogenetic diversity of not just overall bacterial communities but also of discrete functional guilds of bacteria in terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Ileocecal Resection and Concomitant Antibiotics on the Microbiome of the Murine Jejunum and Colon
Anthony A. Devine,Antonio Gonzalez,K. Elizabeth Speck,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Michael A. Helmrath,P. Kay Lund,M. Andrea Azcarate-Peril +7 more
TL;DR: The changes in jejunal and colonic microbiota induced by ICR and concomitant antibiotic injection may be considered as potential regulators of post-surgical adaptive growth or function, and in a setting of active IBD, potential contributors to post-Surgical pathophysiology of disease recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultralow-input single-tube linked-read library method enables short-read second-generation sequencing systems to routinely generate highly accurate and economical long-range sequencing information.

TL;DR: A single-tube Transposase Enzyme Linked Long-read Sequencing (TELL-seqTM) technology is developed, which enables a low-cost, high-accuracy and high-throughput short-read second-generation sequencer to generate over 100 kb long-range sequencing information with as little as 0.1 ng input material.
