Environmental nucleic acids (eNA) observations integrate temporal and ecological information across multiple dimensions of an ecological state. Repeated and complementary observations extend biomonitoring from state assessment toward reconstruction of ecological trajectories, including their direction, rate, pathways, progression, recovery, and ...

Moving towards third-generation sequencing technologies
Within just the past few years, next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms have reduced the cost of DNA sequencing by several orders of magnitude. With these lower costs, DNA sequencing is increasingly powerful as a single-data format onto which a broad ...

The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of patients with epilepsy and represents a major unmet clinical need. While traditional hypotheses of pharmacoresistance have focused on alterations in drug targets, efflux transporter overexpression, and intrinsic disease severity, the gut microbiome has recently emerged as a ...

ParMap, an Algorithm for the Identification of Complex Genomic Variations in Nextgen Sequencing Data [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing produces high-throughput data, albeit with greater error and shorter reads than traditional Sanger sequencing methods. This complicates the detection of genomic variations, especially, small insertions and deletions.
