StrainVis: interactive visual strain-level analysis of microbiome data

Microbiome Evolution

Infants are born germ-free and ready for microbial colonization. The first consortium of microbial colonizers can shape the growth, development, and health of the host during infancy and well into later life. As newborns mature, their diet, immune system and microbiome composition change rapidly, creating shifting selective pressures on members of the gut microbial community. […]

Tracking gene order provides a new perspective on intraspecific evolution in microbiotas.

Strain tracking in complex microbiomes using synteny analysis reveals per-species modes of evolution.
