Human gut microbiome aging clocks based on taxonomic and functional signatures through multi-view learning

Gut Microbes, 2022
The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that is closely related to the aging process. However, there is currently no reliable method to make full use of the metagenomics data of the gut microbiome to determine the age of the host.

Diagnostic utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for tissue in patients with suspected infectious diseases

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was suggested to potentially replace traditional microbiological methods because of its comprehensiveness. However, the diagnostic utility of mNGS for tissue hasn’t been fully explored, especially for patient
