Interesting look at gut strain-level dynamics: The human gut has low strain variation compared to other environments and has a limited capacity for strain richness. #microbiome www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today we publish an (in my opinion) important paper in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social 🍾 showing that gut physiology and environment are factors explaining substantial variations in human gut #microbiome composition and #metabolism🦠 Fantastic work Procházková et al. 👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... My friend @chrischirp.bsky.social pointed out I can't just lazily paste links to a paper of interest without any explanation! We all buy into gut microbiota shaping immune populations and programmes, but this study adds huge granularity, by anatomical region and subset
