Abstract excerpt
Gut bacteria are implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the strains driving these associations are unknown. Large-scale studies of microbiome evolution could reveal the imprint of disease on gut bacteria, thus pinpointing the strains and genes that may underlie inflammation. Here, we use stool metagenomes of thousands of IBD patients and healthy controls to reconstruct 140,000 strain genotypes,...
