Starting my journey from Australia to Heidelberg 🇩🇪 to the @embl.org Human Microbiome conference

It’s not every day we get the chance of 4 days of human microbiome research 🤩🤩🤩 I’m so excited

Still chance to attend it online 👇

A three-country analysis of the gut microbiome indicates taxon associations with diet vary by taxon resolution and population | mSystems

An analysis of fecal microbiome data from individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Mexico shows that associations with dietary components vary both by country and by level of resolution (i.e., genus and strain). Our work sheds light on why ...

Do people in the same household share strains when they have the same species?

How many cells transmit when a strain is shared?
Can strain composition be dynamic when species composition is stable?

We answer these and related questions for the facial skin microbiome in our latest paper.

Wow! Our paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com has just surpassed 10,000 views in less than a month!! a rare feat for a #plant #microbiome study! We argue that seed-borne bacteria are the architects of the wheat rhizobiome. Thanks to everyone who’s been engaging with our work :) doi.org/10.1038/s415...
