Your fingerprints stay the same all your life. But what about the “fingerprint” of microbial strains that are shared in the guts of childhood twins? Using a genomics strain-tracking bioinformatics tool developed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers investigated whether those shared bacterial strains remain stable and resilient to changes in diet or environment … Continue reading Persistence of gut microbial strains in twins, living apart after cohabitating for decades
