Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples
By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria
Now out in Cell:

Integration of 168,000 samples reveals global patterns of the human gut microbiome
The Human Microbiome Compendium is a unified database of publicly available human
gut microbiome 16S samples, built with the integrated data from hundreds of independent
projects. The compendium is us...

Advancing our understanding of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)
A recent study by scientists at AOML found that extensive weakening of the AMOC occurred in the 2000s, but has paused since the early 2010s due to a tug-of-war between the natural and anthropogenic si...
