Data Mining of Groundwater Genomes for Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) Containing Monooxygenase Operons Associated with Contaminant Biodegradation [PDF]

Biology
This study examined freely available whole genome sequencing (WGS) data for genes associated with contaminant biodegradation. Thirteen WGS datasets (>600 individual samples) involving more than 12,000 Gbases from multiple countries were examined.

Assembly of novel microbial genomes from gut metagenomes of rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta)

Gut Microbes, 2023
Rhesus macaque (RM, Macaca mulatta), as an important model animal, commonly suffers from chronic diarrheal disease, challenging the breeding of RMs. Gut microbiomes play key roles in maintaining intestinal health of RMs.

Bacterial Magnetosomes Release Iron Ions and Induce Regulation of Iron Homeostasis in Endothelial Cells

Nanomaterials, 2022
Magnetosomes (MAGs) extracted from magnetotactic bacteria are well-defined membrane-enveloped single-domain magnetic nanoparticles. Due to their superior magnetic and structural properties, MAGs constitute potential materials that can be manipulated via ...

Identification of metabolism-associated genes and construction of a prognostic signature in bladder cancer

Cancer Cell International, 2020
Background Bladder cancer (BC) is a commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in the urinary system, with a high morbidity and a high recurrence rate. Current studies indicated that metabolism-associated genes (MAGs) having critical roles in the etiology of BC.

Eukaryotic genomes from a global metagenomic data set illuminate trophic modes and biogeography of ocean plankton

mBio, 2023
Metagenomics is a powerful method for interpreting the ecological roles and physiological capabilities of mixed microbial communities. Yet, many tools for processing metagenomic data are neither designed to consider eukaryotes nor are they built for an ...

Novel Insights into the Pig Gut Microbiome Using Metagenome-Assembled Genomes

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Pigs are among the most numerous and intensively farmed food-producing animals in the world. The gut microbiome plays an important role in the health and performance of swine and changes rapidly after weaning. Here, fecal samples were collected from pigs

Genome-Resolved Characterization of Structure and Potential Functions of the Zebrafish Stool Microbiome

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Zebrafish have been used as a model organism for more than 50 years and are considered an excellent model for studying host-microbiome interactions. However, this largely depends on our understanding of the zebrafish gut microbiome itself.

Metagenome-assembled genomes of phytoplankton microbiomes from the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans

Microbiome, 2022
Background Phytoplankton communities significantly contribute to global biogeochemical cycles of elements and underpin marine food webs. Although their uncultured genomic diversity has been estimated by planetary-scale metagenome sequencing and ...

Integrated single-cell and transcriptome sequencing analyses develops a metastasis-based risk score system for prognosis and immunotherapy response in uveal melanoma

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most frequent ocular neoplasm with a strong metastatic ability. The prognostic value of metastasis-associated genes (MAGs) of UM remains unclear.
