Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1997 Abstract Interleukin 16 (IL-16) was initially described in 1982 as the first T cell chemoattractant. Through interaction with CD4, IL-16 has now been characterized as a chemoattractant for a variety of CD4+ immune cells. Recent in vivo studies have more fully characterized IL-16 as an immunom odulatory cytokine that contributes to the ...

Primer, Pipelines, Parameters: Issues in 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing
Msphere, 2021 In 16S rRNA gene sequencing, certain bacterial genera were found to be underrepresented or even missing in taxonomic profiles when using unsuitable primer combinations, outdated reference databases, or inadequate pipeline settings.

Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences
Nature Biotechnology, 2013 Profiling phylogenetic marker genes, such as the 16S rRNA gene, is a key tool for studies of microbial communities but does not provide direct evidence of a community's functional capabilities.

Taxonomy of anaerobic digestion microbiome reveals biases associated with the applied high throughput sequencing strategies [PDF]
, 2018 In the past few years, many studies investigated the anaerobic digestion microbiome by means of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Results obtained from these studies were compared to each other without taking into consideration the followed procedure for ...

Diversidad morfológica y molecular de los Unionidae (Mollusca, Bivalvia) de Portugal
Graellsia, 2013 Las náyades de la familia Unionidae tienen gran plasticidad fenotípica, lo que se refleja en la forma de su concha. Esta variabilidad morfológica ha sido causa de gran confusión en la taxonomía y sistemática del grupo.

Characterization of the human tumor microbiome reveals tumor-type specific intra-cellular bacteria
OncoImmunology, 2020 Many characteristics of cancer such as proliferation, survival, progression, immunogenicity, sensitivity, and resistance to therapy are not just endogenously driven by the tumor cells themselves, but are greatly affected by their interaction with the ...
