TL;DR: QIIME 2 development was primarily funded by NSF Awards 1565100 to J.G.C. and R.K.P. and partial support was also provided by the following: grants NIH U54CA143925 and U54MD012388.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of microbial community samples collected by hundreds of researchers for the Earth Microbiome Project is presented, creating both a reference database giving global context to DNA sequence data and a framework for incorporating data from future studies, fostering increasingly complete characterization of Earth’s microbial diversity.

TL;DR: After a house move, the microbial community in the new house rapidly converged on the microbialcommunity of the occupants’ former house, suggesting rapid colonization by the family’s microbiota.

TL;DR: The MicrobiomeHD database, which includes 28 published case–control gut microbiome studies spanning ten diseases, is introduced, and a cross-disease meta-analysis of these studies using standardized methods finds consistent patterns characterizing disease-associated microbiome changes.

TL;DR: The ability of microbially derived metabolites to regulate or modify central and hepatic circadian rhythm and host metabolic function, the latter following intake of a Westernized diet is underscored.
