A glance at the gut microbiota and the functional roles of the microbes based on marmot fecal samples

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Research on the gut microbiota, which involves a large and complex microbial community, is an important part of infectious disease control. In China, few studies have been reported on the diversity of the gut microbiota of wild marmots.

A Primer on Metagenomics

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2010
Metagenomics is a discipline that enables the genomic study of uncultured microorganisms. Faster, cheaper sequencing technologies and the ability to sequence uncultured microbes sampled directly from their habitats are expanding and transforming our view of the microbial world.

Local Binary Patterns as a Feature Descriptor in Alignment-free Visualisation of Metagenomic Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Shotgun sequencing has facilitated the analysis of complex microbial communities. However, clustering and visualising these communities without prior taxonomic information is a major challenge.

Seasonal variation of microbial community and methane metabolism in coalbed water in the Erlian Basin, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Coalbed water is a semi-open system connecting underground coalbeds with the external environment. Microorganisms in coalbed water play an important role in coal biogasification and the carbon cycle.

Distinct Diet-Microbiota-Metabolism Interactions in Overweight and Obese Pregnant Women: a Metagenomics Approach

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Diet and gut microbiota are known to modulate metabolic health. Our aim was to apply a metagenomics approach to investigate whether the diet-gut microbiota-metabolism and inflammation relationships differ in pregnant overweight and obese women.
