Early life microbial succession in the gut follows common patterns in humans across the globe

Abstract excerpt

Characterizing the dynamics of microbial community succession in the infant gut microbiome is crucial for understanding child health and development, but no normative model currently exists. Here, we estimate child age using gut microbial taxonomic relative abundances from metagenomes, with high temporal resolution (±3 months) for the first 1.5 years of life. Using 3154 samples from 1827 infants across 12...
