Extreme Scale De Novo Metagenome Assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Metagenome assembly is the process of transforming a set of short, overlapping, and potentially erroneous DNA segments from environmental samples into the accurate representation of the underlying microbiomes's genomes. State-of-the-art tools require big

Preliminary assessment of nanopore-based metagenomic sequencing for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Objectives: Pathogen identification is crucial for the diagnosis and management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Although culturing methods are the foundation of pathogen detection in PJI, false-negative results often occur.

Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing: Application in Infectious Diseases

open access: yesExploratory Research and Hypothesis in Medicine, 2021
Infectious diseases have always been a difficult clinical problem, especially severe infections and those infections of unknown origin. The invention of a new detection method is particularly important and urgent. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a high-throughput sequencing method that sequences microbial DNA and RNAs from fluid or ...

Species-level functional profiling of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming, prone to spurious mapping, and often limited to community-level quantification ...
