Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Dec 11;32(12):2047-2049. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.10.019.

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Peng et al. provide the MAGIC catalog as a resource for studying bacterial and viral diversity of the global gut microbiome in early life. By addressing gaps in geographic and age representation, this database enhances our understanding of early microbiome dynamics.
