Metagenomic approaches to assess bacteriophages in various environmental niches [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteriophages are ubiquitous and numerous parasites of bacteria and play a critical evolutionary role in virtually every ecosystem, yet our understanding of the extent of the diversity and role of phages remains inadequate for many ecological niches ...

Activity‐Informed Network Analysis Reveals Keystone Microbes Shaping Freshwater Ecosystem Function
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Graphical abstract illustrating the workflow and key findings of this study. We first applied SPIEC‐EASI to metagenomic abundance data to construct microbial co‐occurrence networks and selected the top 15 MAGs based on degree centrality. We then used CARlasso to detect relationships between the top MAGs and environmental features.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

The first microbial colonizers of the human gut: composition, activities, and health implications of the infant gut microbiota [PDF]
, 2017 The human gut microbiota is engaged in multiple interactions affecting host health during the host's entire life span. Microbes colonize the neonatal gut immediately following birth.

The gut virome and the relevance of temperate phages in human health
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Alterations in the gut virome impact human health. Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, dominate the gut virome and are mainly composed by virulent and temperate phages. While virulent phages exclusively replicate within and lyse their bacterial

Gut virome in inflammatory bowel disease and beyond. [PDF]
Gut, 2023 ObjectiveThe gut virome is a dense community of viruses inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract and an integral part of the microbiota. The virome coexists with the other components of the microbiota and with the host in a dynamic equilibrium, serving as a key contributor to the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and functions.

Improved single-swab sample preparation for recovering bacterial and phage DNA from human skin and wound microbiomes. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundCharacterization of the skin and wound microbiome is of high biomedical interest, but is hampered by the low biomass of typical samples. While sample preparation from other microbiomes (e.g., gut) has been the subject of extensive optimization,

Human oral viruses are personal, persistent and gender-consistent. [PDF]
, 2014 Viruses are the most abundant members of the human oral microbiome, yet relatively little is known about their biodiversity in humans. To improve our understanding of the DNA viruses that inhabit the human oral cavity, we examined saliva from a cohort of

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.
