In Sunday’s microbiome digest read about a genomic approach which identified large number of novel proteins from human microbiome, how gut microbiome modulates the pancreatic adenocarcinoma microbiome landscape, detailed investigation of host-microbiome interactions via screening of human microbiome-derived metabolites against G-protein-coupled receptors, homeostasis of brain-gut-microbiota axis in functional dyspepsia rats, modelling of microbial communities using artificial neural networks and in the techniques section Gupta et. al. compared the diagnostic efficacy of Amplicon sequencing and traditional culture methods. Happy weekend. Enjoy reading.
