1. Metagenomic biomarker discovery and explanationGenome biology · 2011 · 17,208 citations

   This study describes and validates a new method for metagenomic biomarker discovery by way of class comparison, tests of biological consistency and effect size estimation. This addresses the challenge of finding organisms, genes, or pathways that consistently explain the differences…

2. The Microbial Metabolites, Short-Chain Fatty Acids, Regulate Colonic T reg Cell HomeostasisScience · 2013 · 5,511 citations

   Regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express the transcription factor Foxp3 are critical for regulating intestinal inflammation. Candidate microbe approaches have identified bacterial species and strain-specific molecules that can affect intestinal immune responses, including species that modulate Treg responses. Because neither…
