Microbial succession in human tissues postmortem: insights from 2bRAD-M sequencing [PDF]
Microbial communities play a crucial role in decomposition, yet their patterns in human tissues remain underexplored. Most previous research has often focused on animal models such as mice and swine, with limited studies on human samples, primarily ...

Species-resolved sequencing of low-biomass or degraded microbiomes using 2bRAD-M [PDF]
Microbiome samples with low microbial biomass or severe DNA degradation remain challenging for amplicon-based or whole-metagenome sequencing approaches. Here, we introduce 2bRAD-M, a highly reduced and cost-effective strategy which only sequences ~ 1% of

16S rRNA, metagenomics and 2bRAD-M sequencing to decode human thanatomicrobiome [PDF]
Microorganisms are essential in the decomposition of corpses and play a significant role in forensic science. However, previous studies have primarily focused on animal remains, specifically the gut, skin, and burial environment.

High-resolution microbiome analysis of host-rich samples using 2bRAD-M without host depletion [PDF]
Characterizing human microbiota in host-dominated samples is crucial for understanding host-microbe interactions, yet is challenged by the high host DNA context (HoC). Current depletion strategies are limited by DNA loss and require immediate processing.

Urobiome of patients with diabetic kidney disease in different stages is revealed by 2bRAD-M [PDF]
Background Knowledge of the urinary microbiome (urobiome) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains limited. The most commonly used 16S rRNA sequencing technique can only provide bacterial identification at the genus level.

2bRAD-M reveals differences in microbial communities between Modic changes and disc herniation [PDF]
BackgroundModic changes are caused by various factors, such as degenerative processes, inflammation, biomechanical, genetic, and metabolic factors, infection, and smoking. Bacteria have been identified in human intervertebral discs by 16S rRNA sequencing;
