Today’s digest hosts a number of rhizosphere-related publications as well as a good amount of interesting microbiome-host-health science. Coming up next week is BioData World West 2017, a conference focused on Genomics/Precision Medicine/AI that I will be attending – I’ll keep an eye out for anything microbiome-related!
