McCann et al. used cpnDB to estimate bacterial contamination in their virome study: Impact of birth mode on virome diversity. Handy! #microbiome @MaternalLegacy https://t.co/YbK2RzADjv via @thePeerJ
Lots of studies examine infant microbiomes. But few examine the infant gut virome (viruses in and on the body) during this period of life. A new analysis of infant faecal #viromes show that birth mode (vaginal vs caesarian) influenced viral composition https://t.co/XJfZBN0HKG https://t.co/4SBXfqsPF1
Interesting: fecal viral (but not bacterial) composition at 1 year of age differs by method of birth https://t.co/3zwFZP5IC1 #microbiome cc @ArrietaLab
Today's #shoutout to #WomeninSTEM goes to Angela McCann for her @thePeerJ paper suggesting that birth mode influences diversity in infants' #gut #microbiomes https://t.co/Hm7uSfVgL0
