1116-Epigenetic Phase Variation in the Gut Microbiome

This research identifies epigenetic phase variation (ePV) as a widespread mechanism that enables human gut bacteria to adapt to shifting environments through DNA methylation. By utilizing long-read metagenomic sequencing, scientists discovered that these epigenetic shifts create intra-strain heterogeneity, allowing microbial populations to hedge their bets against stresses like antibiotics and fec...去小宇宙查看完整单集简介
