Human gut microbiome composition is shaped by multiple factors but the relative contribution
of host genetics remains elusive. Here we examine genotype and microbiome data from …

To study the effect of host genetics on gut microbiome composition, the MiBioGen consortium
curated and analyzed genome-wide genotypes and 16S fecal microbiome data from …

… In The Guilt of Nations, Elazar Barkan offers a sweeping look at the idea of restitution and its
… racism among African Americans—Barkan confronts the difficulties in determining victims …

The neocortex contains a multitude of cell types that are segregated into layers and functionally
distinct areas. To investigate the diversity of cell types across the mouse neocortex, here …

Elucidating the cellular architecture of the human cerebral cortex is central to understanding
our cognitive abilities and susceptibility to disease. Here we used single-nucleus RNA-…

Neurons are frequently classified into distinct types on the basis of structural, physiological,
or genetic attributes. To better constrain the definition of neuronal cell types, we …

Transcriptomic profiling of complex tissues by single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq)
affords some advantages over single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). snRNA-seq …

… Barkan and Luz5 further discussed this subject and pointed out that atmospheric O 2 is
clearly the standard of choice for applications of δ 17 O and δ 18 O in natural O 2 . …
