We use open source human gut microbiome data to learn a microbial "language" model by adapting techniques from Natural Language Processing (NLP). Our microbial "language" model is trained in a self-supervised fashion (i.e., without additional externa...
Most microbiota determination (skin, gut, soil, etc.) are currently conducted in a laboratory using expensive equipment and lengthy procedures, including culture-dependent methods, nucleic acid amplifications (including quantitative PCR), DNA microar...

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing have opened up new possibilities for applying the human microbiome in various fields, including forensics. Researchers have capitalized on the site-specific microbial communities found in different parts ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer, and it can be prevented by performing early screening. As a hallmark of cancer, the human microbiome plays important roles in the occurrence and development of CRC. Recently, the blood microbio...
SUMMARYRecent advances in therapeutic probiotics have shown promising results across various health conditions, reflecting a growing understanding of the human microbiome's role in health and disease. However, comprehensive reviews integrating the di...
UNLABELLED: Endometriosis (EM) and adenomyosis (AM) are interrelated gynecological disorders characterized by the aberrant presence of endometrial tissue and are frequently linked with chronic pelvic pain and infertility, yet their pathogenetic mecha...
Microbial communities are corner stones of environmental biotechnology, driving essential processes such as waste degradation, pollutant removal, and nutrient cycling, all fundamental to industrial bioprocesses and sustainability. The structure and f...
