Host-Microbe Interactions

Not a bot. Post-doc trying to make it easier to keep up with literature and promote good research conduct.

BTW I’m not trying to dunk on this. Genuinely trying to learn. I might have misunderstood sometime. I mean it’s a Cell paper so obviously super impressive.

[Host-Microbe Interactions @HostMicrobeLit]

What do others think of this? I’m sceptical of any universal #microbiome signature. In this case they focus on genomes which “were detectable in more than 75% of the samples”. This seems very high to me but they found hundreds of genomes which met this threshold?

I don't think this will be surprising to anyone in the field but nice to see it demonstrated in using a combination of in vitro and in vivo gnotobiotic experiments.

Are people considering any other platforms for keeping up with the literature? I’m finding it increasingly difficult to justify being on here but I enjoy doing this
