InStrain enables population genomic analysis from metagenomic data and rigorous detection of identical microbial strains

M. R. Olm, A. Crits-Christoph, K. Bouma-Gregson, B. Firek, M. Morowitz, J. Banfield

InStrain analyzes metagenomic data to detect microbial strain diversity and finds siblings share more strains than unrelated infants, but identical twins do not share more than fraternal siblings.

Shifts in microbial transcription patterns prior to onset of Necrotizing enterocolitis may indicate low oxygen levels in the gut

Y. Sher, M. R. Olm, T. Raveh-Sadka, C. T. Brown, R. Sher, B. Firek, R. Baker, M. Morowitz, J. Banfield

The paper identifies shifts in microbial transcription patterns in preterm infants prior to NEC onset, suggesting hypoxic conditions in the gut.

Hospitalized premature infants are colonized by related bacterial strains with distinct proteomic profiles

C. T. Brown, W. Xiong, M. R. Olm, B. C. Thomas, R. Baker, B. Firek, M. J. Morowitz, R. L. Hettich, J. F. Banfield

This study examines microbial colonization in premature infants, finding distinct proteomic profiles among related bacterial strains and correlations with NEC development.
