Press Release: CU Medicine develops the Metagenome-Assembled Genome Inventory for Children (MAGIC) to promote early-life microbiome research

Researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) have developed the Metagenome-Assembled Genome Inventory for Children (MAGIC), a pioneering global database that enhances the understanding of gut microbiome dynamics in early life. The team’s MAGIC database lays a solid foundation for and opens prospects towards studying early-life microbiome research globally given the complex interactions of microbiomes with human health since the inception of life. The findings have been published in the international journal Cell Host & Microbe.
