Have a nice Sunday! (and a happy July 4th to Americans!) In this digest, we have a set of papers covering different areas of microbiome research, including 3 studies covering aspects of the relationship between COVID19 and microbiome, pan-genomic, and metatranscriptomic studies from probiotic microbes, and the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in the host-microbiome communication.
