The metagenomics of biosilicification: causes and effects [PDF]
, 2008 In order to determine the links between geochemical parameters controlling the formation of silica sinter in hot springs and their associated microbial diversity, a detailed characterisation of the waters and of in situ-grown silica sinters was combined ...

CLARK: fast and accurate classification of metagenomic and genomic sequences using discriminative k-mers. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundThe problem of supervised DNA sequence classification arises in several fields of computational molecular biology. Although this problem has been extensively studied, it is still computationally challenging due to size of the datasets that ...

Unbiased taxonomic annotation of metagenomic samples [PDF]
, 2017 The classification of reads from a metagenomic sample using a reference taxonomy is usually based on first mapping the reads to the reference sequences and then, classifying each read at a node under the lowest common ancestor of the candidate sequences ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

DeepMicrobes: taxonomic classification for metagenomics with deep learning
bioRxiv, 2019 Taxonomic classification is a crucial step for metagenomics applications including disease diagnostics, microbiome analyses, and outbreak tracing. Yet it is unknown what deep learning architecture can capture microbial genome-wide features relevant to ...
