Global-scale microbiome analyses identify an ancestral gut cyanobacterial lineage enriched in African populations

2026-04-24

Abstract excerpt

Industrialization has profoundly reshaped the structure and function of the human gut microbiome, yet our current knowledge of its diversity remains heavily biased toward industrialized populations. Here, we performed an integrated analysis of a large-scale metagenomic dataset (n = 41,471) to systematically characterize the gut microbiome across the African continent. We show that sub-Saharan African populations h...
