Reducing the Effects of PCR Amplification and Sequencing Artifacts on 16S rRNA-Based Studies
The advent of next generation sequencing has coincided with a growth in interest in using these approaches to better understand the role of the structure and function of the microbial communities in human, animal, and environmental health.

Clinical Correlates of Anxiety and Depression After Diagnosis of a Pediatric Brain Tumor
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence and clinical correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in pediatric patients with brain tumors are not well described. We aimed to identify clinical characteristics that are correlated with elevated symptoms of anxiety and depression following initial diagnosis.

Preoperative Cytopenia in Patients Affected by High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Just a Matter of Platelets?
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In patients affected by high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NB), complete macroscopic resection (CMR) is associated with better outcomes. These patients are often cytopenic due to intensive induction regimens. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of preoperative cytopenia on surgical outcome in patients with HR‐NB ...

ampvis2: an R package to analyse and visualise 16S rRNA amplicon data
Summary Microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing is the backbone of many microbial ecology studies. Several approaches and pipelines exist for processing the raw data generated through DNA sequencing and convert the data into ...

ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Molecular cloning of the rRNA genes of Prevotella bryantii B14
Parts of the rRNA operons of anaerobic rumen bacteria Prevotella bryantii B14 were cloned. 350 colonies carrying pBluescriptII with HindIII DNA fragments were screened with 16S rDNA specific probe and six positive clones were obtained.

Tax4Fun: predicting functional profiles from metagenomic 16S rRNA data
Motivation: The characterization of phylogenetic and functional diversity is a key element in the analysis of microbial communities. Amplicon-based sequencing of marker genes, such as 16S rRNA, is a powerful tool for assessing and comparing the structure
