Excited to announce that our catalog of the human gut microbiome has been published in @NatureBiotech: nature.com/articles/s4158…. A collaboration between teams led by @robdfinn, @kyrpides, @nsegata, @PhilHugenholtz, Katie Pollard and @fstrozzi #microbiome @emblebi @sangerinstitute This work represents the most comprehensive sequence resource of the human gut microbiome established thus far, encompassing more than 280,000 genomes and 625 million proteins.

Happy to announce our latest work where we combined and analysed over 280,000 genomes from the human gut microbiome: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. A great collaboration between the teams of @robdfinn, @kyrpides, @nsegata, @PhilHugenholtz, Katie Pollard and @fstrozzi #microbiome We generated a unified genome and protein catalogue comprising 4,644 microbial species and over 170 million non-redundant proteins, representing a comprehensive picture of the currently known diversity of the human gut microbiome
