Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of ...

Your gut is not just a reflection of what you eat or which probiotics you buy. It is also, emerging research suggests, partly ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

Gut microbiome composition may be shaped not only by an individual’s own genes but also by the genes of their friends ...

If something similar occurs in humans, and given growing evidence that the gut microbiome matters for health, genetic influence on human health may be underestimated in large studies; genes may affect ...

Bdelloid rotifers are tiny freshwater creatures that are smaller than the width of a human hair, but still have a head, mouth, gut, and other structures. New research has shown that these little ...

The trillions of microbes that live in the human gut may play a bigger role in health than previously thought, according to new research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The article, published ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

Researchers have identified a gut-genetic interaction that could trigger an overactive immune response in the colon — offering one possible explanation for the pain and bleeding of ulcerative colitis, ...

A new study indicates a common genetic variant may interact with gut bacteria to trigger chronic inflammation in ulcerative colitis. The findings may help explain why people experience the disease ...
