Here’s your daily routine. Autoregressive and non-autoregressive regimes in the human gut microbiome. The interaction between diet, microbiota and personalized nutrition. More topics to think about: reproducibility in the microbiome studies, intellectual property in the microbiome industry, and heavy rain brings fatal bugs to northern Californian dogs.
