A metagenomic survey of lamb's pre- and post-weaning fecal microbiomes

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2020
Weaning is known to be the most stressful and critical transition experienced by lambs, it affects the structure of the gastrointestinal tract microbiomes, which significantly influences the lamb’s health and performance. The present study identified the

Phylogenomic analysis of lactobacillus curvatus reveals two lineages distinguished by genes for fermenting plant-derived carbohydrates [PDF]

, 2018
Lactobacillus curvatus is a lactic acid bacterium encountered in many different types of fermented food (meat, seafood, vegetables, and cereals). Although this species plays an important role in the preservation of these foods, few attempts have been ...

Recovery of a medieval Brucella melitensis genome using shotgun metagenomics [PDF]

, 2014
Shotgun metagenomics provides a powerful assumption-free approach to the recovery of pathogen genomes from contemporary and historical material. We sequenced the metagenome of a calcified nodule from the skeleton of a 14th-century middle-aged male ...

Diagnostic applications of next generation sequencing: working towards quality standards [PDF]

, 2012
Over the past 6 years, next generation sequencing (NGS) has been established as a valuable high-throughput method for research in molecular genetics and has successfully been employed in the identification of rare and common genetic variations. All major

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

mockrobiota: a Public Resource for Microbiome Bioinformatics Benchmarking. [PDF]

, 2016
Mock communities are an important tool for validating, optimizing, and comparing bioinformatics methods for microbial community analysis. We present mockrobiota, a public resource for sharing, validating, and documenting mock community data resources ...

High Humidity Exacerbates Psoriasiform Skin Disease Relapse by Increasing Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells via Altering Skin Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.

Mycobiome Analysis of Tall Fescue Grass Under Drought Stress Using the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore Technology MinION

Phytobiomes Journal, 2023
The effects that mycobiomes have on physiological traits in turfgrasses are poorly understood. Drought tolerance, an economically and ecologically important trait, can be influenced by symbiotic fungi.

MaxSSmap: A GPU program for mapping divergent short reads to genomes with the maximum scoring subsequence [PDF]

, 2014
Programs based on hash tables and Burrows-Wheeler are very fast for mapping short reads to genomes but have low accuracy in the presence of mismatches and gaps.
