MG-Digger: An Automated Pipeline to Search for Giant Virus-Related Sequences in Metagenomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The number of metagenomic studies conducted each year is growing dramatically. Storage and analysis of such big data is difficult and time-consuming. Interestingly, analysis shows that environmental and human metagenomes include a significant amount of ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Many marine sponges are populated by dense and taxonomically diverse microbial consortia. We employed a metagenomics approach to unravel the differences in the functional gene repertoire among three Mediterranean sponge species, Petrosia ficiformis ...

Viruses, 2019 Charophyte algae, not chlorophyte algae, are the ancestors of ‘higher plants’; hence, viruses infecting charophytes may be related to those that first infected higher plants. Streamwaters from British Columbia, Canada, yielded single-stranded

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 16S rRNA amplicon sequences are predominantly used to identify the taxonomic composition of a microbiome, but they can also be used to generate simulated metagenomes to circumvent costly empirical shotgun sequencing. The effectiveness of using “simulated

Lake Erie field trials to advance autonomous monitoring of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Biomolecular analyses are used to investigate the dynamics of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs), with samples collected during monitoring often analyzed by qPCR and sometimes amplicon and metagenomic sequencing.

Metagenomic data reveals type I polyketide synthase distributions across biomes
mSystems, 2023 Microbial polyketide synthase (PKS) genes encode the biosynthesis of many biomedically or otherwise commercially important natural products. Despite extensive discovery efforts, metagenomic analyses suggest that only a small fraction of nature’s ...

Taxonomic Novelty and Distinctive Genomic Features of Hot Spring Cyanobacteria
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Several cyanobacterial species are dominant primary producers in hot spring microbial mats. To date, hot spring cyanobacterial taxonomy, as well as the evolution of their genomic adaptations to high temperatures, are poorly understood, with genomic ...

Human-Gut Phages Harbor Sporulation Genes
mBio, 2023 Spore-forming bacteria are prevalent in mammalian guts and have implications for host health and nutrition. The production of dormant spores is thought to play an important role in the colonization, persistence, and transmission of these bacteria.
