Can we assess engraftment of donor's strains in FMT? What drives it?
In our latest study @NatureMedicine we examine the extent and determinants of strain engraftment upon FMT, and build ML models to predict the resulting microbiome composition (thread).

MetaPhlAn version 4 is out! Big improvements with the possibility to profile uSGBs (i.e. MAG-defined species), better markers, ~27k tot SGBs (species), estimation of the unknowns, and more. DB based on >1M genomes+MAGs! Preprint, code, tutorials available! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our work on the presence of ACBP orthologues (or the lack of) in human gut metagenomes is now out in @AppEnvMicro
Thanks to @nsegata, Guido Kroemer, @fasnicar and @cibiocm
Thanks to @nsegata and co-authors for their latest paper.
