The murine appendiceal microbiome is altered in spontaneous colitis and its pathological progression.

TLDR
The appendiceal dysbiosis observed in Winnie mice is commensurate with, and adds to extant literature data, reports of increased Helicobacter in IBD patients.
Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (comprising ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) is a multifactorial disease that is extensively associated with stool microbiome changes (dysbiosis). Appendicitis and appendectomy limits subsequent colitis, clinically, and in animal models. We wanted to examine how the appendiceal and stool microbiome fared in our spontaneous colitic Winnie (Muc2−/−) mice model.

Rhythmicity of the intestinal microbiota is regulated by gender and the host circadian clock

TL;DR: It is reported that both the host circadian system and host gender influence the rhythmicity of the total load and taxonomic abundances in the fecal microbiota, and that regulation by the host clock is dominant.

Host immunoglobulin G selectively identifies pathobionts in pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases

TL;DR: Using IgG as a marker of pathobionts in larger patient cohorts to identify microbes and elucidate their role in IBD pathogenesis will potentially underpin new strategies to facilitate development of novel, targeted diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches.

Of men in mice: the development and application of a humanized gnotobiotic mouse model for microbiome therapeutics.

TL;DR: The key factors that affect the formulation of a humanized mouse model representative of the human gut flora are reviewed and several approaches are proposed as to how researchers can effectively design such models for clinical relevance.

Polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat ameliorate colitis rats by modulating the intestinal microbiota community.

TL;DR: Chrysanthemum polysaccharides could ameliorate ulcerative colitis by fostering beneficial intestinal flora growth, modulating the balance of intestinal microecology and restoring the immune system.

A greedy algorithm for aligning DNA sequences.

TL;DR: A new greedy alignment algorithm is introduced with particularly good performance and it is shown that it computes the same alignment as does a certain dynamic programming algorithm, while executing over 10 times faster on appropriate data.

Host-Bacterial Mutualism in the Human Intestine

TL;DR: New studies are revealing how the gut microbiota has coevolved with us and how it manipulates and complements the authors' biology in ways that are mutually beneficial.

Molecular-phylogenetic characterization of microbial community imbalances in human inflammatory bowel diseases

TL;DR: Patient stratification by GI microbiota provides further evidence that CD represents a spectrum of disease states and suggests that treatment of some forms of IBD may be facilitated by redress of the detected microbiological imbalances.

Galaxy: a comprehensive approach for supporting accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational research in the life sciences

TL;DR: Galaxy Pages are interactive, web-based documents that provide users with a medium to communicate a complete computational analysis and provide support for capturing the context and intent of computational methods.
