  • Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

    Creator:
    Arnold, Holly Kristin
    Abstract:
    The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

  • Characterizing the Accuracy of Phylogenetic Analyses that Leverage 16S rRNA Sequencing Data

    Creator:
    Humphreys, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....
