Urban vs rural lifestyles create dramatically different gut microbiomes. But how do these different gut microbiomes affect the host?

Excited to share our new paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Proud of the latest edition of my free intro biostats book.

gitrepo: github.com/ybrandvain/b...
book: ybrandvain.github.io/biostats/

Not complete but at a good point to take a break, and I think its quite usable

dm me with comments , ideas etc

Hey Yaniv Brandvain is not on Bluesky but his most recent biostats ebook is live ybrandvain.github.io/biostats/. His stats resources have been so helpful to me as I develop my own stats course, so check it out. Github repo here: github.com/ybrandvain/b...

Just out in Nature Reviews Genetics!

From twin studies to microbiome GWAS to cutting-edge transcriptomics, we explore the cross-talk between our genes and the microbiome!

Fun working together with

📣 Happy to share our review on host-microbiome genomics!

We synthesize the growing field exploring interactions between human genetics and the microbiome, building a roadmap for mapping the dialogue between our genes and microbes

Out now in Nature Reviews Genetics👇

The eternal question: should you focus on one problem for a very long time or is it more productive to bounce and work on many problems? David Baker says that both modes have been important in his career trajectory.

These are challenging times for science, but I'm happy to share a bright moment: our work is on the cover of Cell today.

We built a compendium of human gut microbiomes integrating 168K worldwide samples, revealing patterns of microbiome variation across the globe

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples

By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria

Now out in Cell:
