The microbiome of the human lower airways: a next generation sequencing perspective

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2015
For a long time, the human lower airways were considered a sterile environment where the presence of microorganisms, typically revealed by culturing, was interpreted as an abnormal health state.

Case Report of COVID-19 after Full Vaccination: Viral Loads and Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies

Diagnostics, 2021
The introduction of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is expected to prevent COVID-19. However, sporadic cases of infection in vaccinated persons have been reported. We describe a case of a double-dose vaccinated woman with COVID-19.

An optimized method for high quality DNA extraction from microalga Prototheca wickerhamii for genome sequencing

Plant Methods, 2017
Background The complex cell wall structure of algae often precludes efficient extraction of their genetic material. The purpose of this study was to design a next-generation sequencing-suitable DNA isolation method for unicellular, achlorophyllous, yeast-

Bacterial Communities Associated with Poa annua Roots in Central European (Poland) and Antarctic Settings (King George Island)

Microorganisms, 2021
Poa annua (annual bluegrass) is one of the most ubiquitous grass species in the world. In isolated regions of maritime Antarctica, it has become an invasive organism threatening native tundra communities.

Sequencing ancient DNA [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
The well-preserved mummy of an old man (Upper) is displayed in an exhibition in Denmark’s National Museum. The mummy was removed, as displayed, from an excavation in 1875 at Borum Eshoj, near Aarhus, Denmark. Carpenter and colleagues used hair samples from the mummy to isolate ancient DNA and validate the technique.
