Promises and Prospects of Microbiome Studies [PDF]
, 2015 Since Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, first microscopic observations of the unseen microbiota and the more recent realization that little of the microbes in the biosphere are known, humans have developed a deep curiosity to fully understand the inner workings ...

Our unique microbial identity. [PDF]
, 2015 A recent article examines the extent of individual variation in microbial identities and how this might determine disease susceptibility, therapeutic responses and recovery from clinical ...

The dynamic genetic repertoire of microbial communities
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009 Community genomic data have revealed multiple levels of variation between and within microbial consortia. This variation includes large-scale differences in gene content between ecosystems as well as within-population sequence heterogeneity. In the present review, we focus specifically on how fine-scale variation within microbial and viral populations ...

Thinking Outside the Box: Using Computer Science Skills to Make Sense of the Biology of Life [PDF]
, 2016 While I liked coding and the logical aspects of computer programming, my gut was telling me I hadn\u27t quite found my niche yet. In what field could my computer science skills make a difference while also providing me with challenging problems to solve?

Population Genetics and Evolution [PDF]
Lecture notes of the 49th IFF spring school "Physics of Life"
(Forschungszentrum J\"ulich, 2018), 2018 These lecture notes introduce key concepts of mathematical population genetics within the most elementary setting and describe a few recent applications to microbial evolution experiments. Pointers to the literature for further reading are provided, and some of the derivations are left as exercises for the reader.

Gut Microbial Metabolism and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. [PDF]
, 2019 The gut microbiome, the multispecies community of microbes that exists in the gastrointestinal tract, encodes several orders of magnitude more functional genes than the human genome. It also plays a pivotal role in human health, in part due to metabolism
