Subspecies in the global human gut microbiome
Population genomics of prokaryotes has been studied in depth in only a small number of primarily pathogenic bacteria, as genome sequences of isolates of diverse origin are lacking for most species. Here, we conducted a large-scale survey of population structure in prevalent human gut microbial species, sampled from their natural environment, with a culture-independent metagenomic approach. We e...
متن کاملHuman Genetics Shape the Gut Microbiome
Host genetics and the gut microbiome can both influence metabolic phenotypes. However, whether host genetic variation shapes the gut microbiome and interacts with it to affect host phenotype is unclear. Here, we compared microbiotas across >1,000 fecal samples obtained from the TwinsUK population, including 416 twin pairs. We identified many microbial taxa whose abundances were influenced by ho...
متن کاملRole of Gut Microbiome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects 8-13% of women at reproductive age worldwide. This disorder is usually associated with menstrual disorders, infertility, obesity, and insulin resistance. The underlying cause of this syndrome is unknown, however in recent years, researchers have shown an association between intestinal microbiota alterations )dysbiosi...
متن کاملSeasonal Variation in Human Gut Microbiome Composition
The composition of the human gut microbiome is influenced by many environmental factors. Diet is thought to be one of the most important determinants, though we have limited understanding of the extent to which dietary fluctuations alter variation in the gut microbiome between individuals. In this study, we examined variation in gut microbiome composition between winter and summer over the cour...
متن کاملThe evolving role of the gut microbiome in human disease.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2014.09.015 0014-5793/ 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies. We are delighted to introduce this Special Issue, which summarizes the current understanding of the complex relationship between the gut microbiome and the host. Animals and humans have evolved a digestive system that allows them to walk, swim...
