Comprehensive benchmarking of metagenomic binning tools reveals key factors for improved genome recovery [PDF]

Nature Communications
Metagenomic binning is essential for reconstructing prokaryotic genomes from metagenomic samples. We benchmarked various binning tools using Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI)-simulated, custom-simulated, and real metagenomic ...

Metagenomic analysis reveals the microbiome and antibiotic resistance genes in indigenous Chinese yellow-feathered chickens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Yellow-feathered chickens have great nutritional value and are widely and traditionally used in China, on an industrial scale as broilers. The presence of intestinal microbes has been shown to correlate with poultry performance and serves as an essential

A tool for evaluating heterogeneity in avidity of polyclonal antibodies

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Diversity in specificity of polyclonal antibody (pAb) responses is extensively investigated in vaccine efficacy or immunological evaluations, but the heterogeneity in antibody avidity is rarely probed as convenient tools are lacking.

Comparison of the Microbiome of Artisanal Homemade and Industrial Feta Cheese through Amplicon Sequencing and Shotgun Metagenomics

Microorganisms, 2022
Feta is the most renowned protected designation of origin (PDO) white brined cheese produced in Greece. The fine organoleptic characteristics and the quality of Feta rely on, among other factors, its overall microbial ecosystem.
