ABSTRACT Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) inherited are visually disabling monogenic diseases with remarkable genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Mutations in more than 300 different genes have been identified as disease‐causing. The genetic diagnosis of IRDs has significantly advanced with the integration of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS ...

Enhancing Long-Read-Based Strain-Aware Metagenome Assembly
Microbial communities are usually highly diverse and often involve multiple strains from the participating species due to the rapid evolution of microorganisms.

Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation [PDF]
The remarkable diversity of genes within the pool of prokaryotic genomes belonging to the same species or pan-genome is difficult to reconcile with the widely accepted paradigm which asserts that periodic selection within bacterial populations would ...

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

The gastrointestinal microbiota members produce α-l-fucosidases that play key roles in mucosal, human milk, and dietary oligosaccharide assimilation. Here, 36 open reading frames (ORFs) coding for putative α-l-fucosidases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase ...

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

A Bioinformatician's Guide to Metagenomics [PDF]
SUMMARYAs random shotgun metagenomic projects proliferate and become the dominant source of publicly available sequence data, procedures for the best practices in their execution and analysis become increasingly important. Based on our experience at the Joint Genome Institute, we describe the chain of decisions accompanying a metagenomic project from ...

Species-Associated Differences in the Below-Ground Microbiomes of Wild and Domesticated Setaria
The rhizosphere microbiome is known to play a crucial role in promoting plant growth, partly by countering soil-borne phytoparasites and by improving nutrient uptake.

AbstractCharacterisation of new viruses is often hindered by difficulties in amplifying them in cell culture, limited antigenic/serological cross‐reactivity or the lack of nucleic acid hybridisation to known viral sequences. Numerous molecular methods have been used to genetically characterise new viruses without prior in vitro replication or the use ...
