Abstract

Two recent papers published in Cell highlight the power of both top-down and bottom-up approaches to understanding the gut microbiome. The first uses ultra-deep sequencing to identify patterns across a gradient of human industrialization, while the second uses synthetic communities to determine how strain interactions impact microbiome structure and function.
