Models of microbiome evolution incorporating host and microbial selection
BACKGROUND Numerous empirical studies suggest that hosts and microbes exert reciprocal selective effects on their ecological partners. Nonetheless, we still lack an explicit framework to model the dynamics of both hosts and microbes under selection. In a previous study, we developed an agent-based forward-time computational framework to simulate the neutral evolution of host-associated microbia...
متن کاملNeutral Models of Microbiome Evolution
There has been an explosion of research on host-associated microbial communities (i.e.,microbiomes). Much of this research has focused on surveys of microbial diversities across a variety of host species, including humans, with a view to understanding how these microbiomes are distributed across space and time, and how they correlate with host health, disease, phenotype, physiology and ecology....
متن کاملMicrobial endocrinology: host-bacteria communication within the gut microbiome.
The human body is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which are increasingly being shown to have significant effects on a variety of disease states. Evidence exists that a bidirectional communication is taking place between us and our microbiome co-habitants, and that this dialogue is capable of influencing our health in a variety of ways. This review considers how host hormonal signals shape...
متن کاملMINI-REVIEW Microbiome and Host Interactions Gut-liver axis at the frontier of host-microbial interactions
Brandl K, Kumar V, Eckmann L. Gut-liver axis at the frontier of hostmicrobial interactions. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 312: G413–G419, 2017. First published February 23, 2017; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00361.2016.—Liver and intestine are tightly linked through the venous system of the portal circulation. Consequently, the liver is the primary recipient of gut-derived products, most promine...
متن کاملDirected evolution: selection of the host organism
Directed evolution has become a well-established tool for improving proteins and biological systems. A critical aspect of directed evolution is the selection of a suitable host organism for achieving functional expression of the target gene. To date, most directed evolution studies have used either Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a host; however, other bacterial and yeast specie...
