Subspecies of the human gut microbiota carry implicit information for in-depth microbiome research

Abstract excerpt

Microbial strains within a single species can exhibit distinct functional characteristics due to variations in gene content and often show individual specificity, which can obscure unbiased associations and hinder deductive research. Here, we comprehensively define the human gut microbiota at a consistently annotated operational subspecies unit (OSU) resolution in an unbiased, cohort-independent manner,...
