Abstract
The composition of the human gut microbiome is heterogeneous across people. However, if you squint, co-abundant microbial genera emerge, accounting for much of this ecological variability. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Frioux et al. provide a workflow for identifying these bacterial guilds, or "enterosignatures."
