The human microbiome in evolution
BMC Biology, 2017 The trillions of microbes living in the gut-the gut microbiota-play an important role in human biology and disease. While much has been done to explore its diversity, a full understanding of our microbiomes demands an evolutionary perspective. In this review, we compare microbiomes from human populations, placing them in the context of microbes from ...

The Human Oral Microbiome [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2010 ABSTRACT The human oral cavity contains a number of different habitats, including the teeth, gingival sulcus, tongue, cheeks, hard and soft palates, and tonsils, which are colonized by bacteria. The oral microbiome is comprised of over 600 prevalent taxa at the species level, with distinct subsets predominating at different ...

PyDamage: automated ancient damage identification and estimation for contigs in ancient DNA de novo assembly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 DNA de novo assembly can be used to reconstruct longer stretches of DNA (contigs), including genes and even genomes, from short DNA sequencing reads. Applying this technique to metagenomic data derived from archaeological remains, such as paleofeces and ...

SnapShot: The Human Microbiome
Cell, 2014 Trilions of bacteria populate the human body, with research efforts focusing on documenting the complexity of these communities and their contributions to physiological processes. This SnapShot presents several aspects of the human microbiome, including the characterization of the microbial species populating different body sites, the distribution of ...

Discovery of Three Toxic Proteins of Klebsiella Phage fHe-Kpn01
Viruses, 2020 The lytic phage, fHe-Kpn01 was isolated from sewage water using an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae as a host. The genome is 43,329 bp in size and contains direct terminal repeats of 222 bp.

Why Are Bifidobacteria Important for Infants?
Microorganisms, 2022 The presence of Bifidobacterium species in the maternal vaginal and fecal microbiota is arguably an evolutionary trait that allows these organisms to be primary colonizers of the newborn intestinal tract.
