The paper investigates how IBD stress affects intra-species diversity in the gut microbiome, finding species- and function-specific genetic changes associated with motility and iron-scavenging.

This study examines how rituximab treatment affects vaginal mucosal immune markers, immune cell populations, and microbiome composition in women compared to healthy controls.

The paper identifies and analyzes prophages in infant-derived Bifidobacterium longum subspecies, revealing their antagonistic and synergistic strategies for persistence in the gut.

This study characterizes the gut and gastric residuals microbiome in preterm infants, identifying distinct microbial clusters and dynamics associated with clinical outcomes.

The paper identifies a novel subspecies of Bifidobacterium longum, BL. nexti, in infant gut microbiomes, showing its association with formula feeding and vertical transmission.

LAMPP provides a standardized benchmark for evaluating host phenotype prediction from gut metagenomic data, showing that traditional methods remain competitive.

GENI is a web tool that identifies gene set enrichments in TCGA tumor data, simplifying analysis for non-experts by evaluating gene expression in the context of the whole transcriptome.

The paper constructs a deep transformer model to predict gene expression from cis-regulatory DNA sequences in yeast, revealing evolutionary constraints and evolvability patterns.
