Why the Human Microbiome Project Should Motivate Epidemiologists to Learn Ecology [PDF]
Epidemiology, 2010 If you are not an astronomer (amateur or otherwise), looking at the stars can be an exercise in frustration. Where are the constellations? The planets? A telescope doesn’t necessarily help: you can see things more clearly, but without knowing where to look and what to look for, you can’t tell what you are seeing.

Towards large-cohort comparative studies to define the factors influencing the gut microbial community structure of ASD patients. [PDF]
, 2015 Differences in the gut microbiota have been reported between individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurotypical controls, although direct evidence that changes in the microbiome contribute to causing ASD has been scarce to date.

Human oral microbiome characterization and its association with environmental microbiome revealed by the Earth Microbiome Project [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractThe oral cavity is an important window for the microbial communication between environment and the human body. The oral microbiome plays an important role in human health. Here, we analyzed 447 datasets from human oral samples published by the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP).

Preservation Methods Differ in Fecal Microbiome Stability, Affecting Suitability for Field Studies. [PDF]
, 2016 Immediate freezing at -20°C or below has been considered the gold standard for microbiome preservation, yet this approach is not feasible for many field studies, ranging from anthropology to wildlife conservation.

Foregut microbiome in development of esophageal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
, 2010 Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA), the type of cancer linked to heartburn due to gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD), has increased six fold in the past 30 years. This cannot currently be explained by the usual environmental or by host genetic factors.

Species-level functional profiling of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes. [PDF]
, 2018 Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming, prone to spurious mapping, and often limited to community-level quantification ...
