Microbiomics Pangenomes: the coolest new thing in human genetics got its start in bacteria. No, seriously! Bacteria are complicated. We invented pangenomes to better understand them.
Microbiomics We’ve known since the time of Pavlov that there’s a connection between our gut and brain; now we know our microbiomes play a role in that game of telephone too! The gut-brain axis: now with microbes!
Microbiomics Pathobionts: The opportunists hiding in our microbiomes The microbes we co-exist with can be friends, foes, or just along for the ride. They can also switch between being all of those things…
Microbiomics Clinical applications of the microbiome are still very much a work in progress What's the clinical usefulness of a microbiome? We’re still trying to figure that part out!
Microbiomics Featured The solid tumor microbiome: friend or foe? Wait, there's a tumor microbiome?? Solid tumors account for the majority of cancers that occur in adults. You might be surprised to know that they also have their own microbiome!
Microbiomics “The microbiome” isn't just one thing. It's lots of things. And each habitat has its own microbiome.
Microbiomics Studying the microbiome is really just a lesson in ecology! Plants, animals, the soil, and even your toilet seat have a microbiome!
Microbiomics Featured Colorectal cancer has found a new best friend. Spoiler: It’s a bacteria from your mouth! Long-read sequencing can now help us figure out what makes the Fn bacteria found in CRC tumors tick.
Microbiomics Featured Tumor immune microenvironments and how we can exploit them to fight cancer Tumors are bad. Understanding their microenvironment is key in our effort to amp up the immune system to fight them!
Microbiomics The establishment and maintenance of your microbiome is mostly a family affair, but be careful who you swap spit with! Being in close contact with other people is just human nature, so it makes sense that the bugs who colonize us also tend to colonize the people around us.
