Human microbiome

  1. Fast and reliable association discovery in large-scale microbiome studies and meta-analyses using PALM
    PALM, a quasi-Poisson regression framework, enables fast and reliable association discovery in large-scale microbiome studies by controlling false discovery rates and improving power.
  2. Authors propose co-laborative ethics for microbiome research
    Analysis of ethical concerns in human microbiome research, proposing collaborative frameworks to address geographic bias, community exclusion, and underrepresentation of global researchers.
  3. Human and bacterial genetics shape oral microbiome variation
    Study of 12,519 individuals reveals how human genetic variants control oral microbiome composition and link to tooth decay risk through salivary enzyme abundance.
  4. Nasal microbiome linked to modest nasal epigenome variation
    Nasal microbiome composition shows modest but significant associations with epigenomic variation among adolescents, warranting investigation of environmental and developmental factors.
