The metagenomics of biosilicification: causes and effects [PDF]
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 ...

Evaluating the Information Content of Shallow Shotgun Metagenomics
A common refrain in recent microbiome-related academic meetings is that the field needs to move away from broad taxonomic surveys using 16S sequencing and toward more powerful longitudinal studies using shotgun sequencing.

Machine learning for metagenomics: methods and tools [PDF]
Owing to the complexity and variability of metagenomic studies, modern machine learning approaches have seen increased usage to answer a variety of question encompassing the full range of metagenomic NGS data analysis. We review here the contribution of machine learning techniques for the field of metagenomics, by presenting known successful approaches

Optimizing sequencing protocols for leaderboard metagenomics by combining long and short reads. [PDF]
As metagenomic studies move to increasing numbers of samples, communities like the human gut may benefit more from the assembly of abundant microbes in many samples, rather than the exhaustive assembly of fewer samples.

Methane metabolism in the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota revealed by genome-centric metagenomics
Methane cycling gets more diverse The production and consumption of methane by microorganisms play a major role in the global carbon cycle. Although these processes can occur in a range of environments, from animal guts to the deep ocean, these ...

Antibacterial Siderophores of Pandoraea Pathogens and their Impact on the Diseased Lung Microbiota
Antibiotic‐resistant bacteria of the genus Pandoraea, frequently acquired from the environment, are an emerging cause of opportunistic respiratory infections, especially in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. However, their specialized metabolites, including niche and virulence factors, remained unknown.

Analysis of Metagenome Composition by the Method of Random Primers [PDF]
Metagenome, a mixture of different genomes (as a rule, bacterial), represents a pattern, and the analysis of its composition is, currently, one of the challenging problems of bioinformatics. In the present study, the possibility of evaluating metagenome composition by DNA-marker methods is investigated.

Prediction of microbial communities for urban metagenomics using neural network approach. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Microbes are greatly associated with human health and disease, especially in densely populated cities. It is essential to understand the microbial ecosystem in an urban environment for cities to monitor the transmission of infectious diseases ...

Fecal Microbiota Characteristics in Constipation-Predominant and Mixed-Type Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the lifestyle of patients. It is associated with significant changes in the composition of the gut microbiome, but the underlying microbial mechanisms remain to be fully ...
