Metagenomic investigation of faecal microbiota in sheep and goats of the same ages
Despite the significant influence of the microbial communities that inhabit the ruminant’s gastrointestinal tract on their health and production, the study of the composition and variations in sheep and goats gut microbiome is limited.

cpn60 metagenomic amplicon library preparation for the Illumina Miseq platform
Abstract This protocol can be applied to determine the composition of a microbial community. The cpn60 gene (also known as groEL, hsp60) is present in almost all bacteria and a 552-558 bp region of the gene has been established as a barcode for species level identification of bacteria. The primer cocktail used in this

Illumina MiSeq sequencing disfavours a sequence motif in the GFP reporter gene. [PDF]
AbstractGreen fluorescent protein (GFP) is one of the most used reporter genes. We have used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyse the genetic diversity of a recombinant influenza A virus that expresses GFP and found a remarkable coverage dip in the GFP coding sequence.

Double-digest RADseq loci using standard Illumina indexes improve deep and shallow phylogenetic resolution of Lophodermium, a widespread fungal endophyte of pine needles. [PDF]
The phylogenetic and population genetic structure of symbiotic microorganisms may correlate with important ecological traits that can be difficult to directly measure, such as host preferences or dispersal rates.

Diversity of cervical microbiota in asymptomatic chlamydia trachomatis genital infection: a pilot study [PDF]
Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection continues to be an important public health problem worldwide due to its increasing incidence. C. trachomatis infection can lead to severe sequelae, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, obstructive infertility, and ...

Phasing amplicon sequencing on Illumina Miseq for robust environmental microbial community analysis [PDF]
Although high-throughput sequencing, such as Illumina-based technologies (e.g. MiSeq), has revolutionized microbial ecology, adaptation of amplicon sequencing for environmental microbial community analysis is challenging due to the problem of low base diversity.A new phasing amplicon sequencing approach (PAS) was developed by shifting sequencing phases
