Viral metagenomic analysis reveals potential biological hazards in non‐human primates in a zoo
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The investigation identifies the presence of Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), Baboon endogenous virus (BAV), Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), and Baboon endogenous virus (BaEV) in non‐human primates (NHPs) at the Zoo, indicating potential zoonotic threats.

The MetaSUB Microbiome Core Analysis Pipeline Enables Large Scale Metagenomic Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Motivation: Accurate data analysis and quality control is critical for metagenomic studies. Though many tools exist to analyze metagenomic data there is no consistent framework to integrate and run these tools across projects. Currently, computational analysis of metagenomes is time consuming, often misses potentially interesting results, and is ...

Scaling metagenome sequence assembly with probabilistic de Bruijn graphs [PDF]
, 2011 Deep sequencing has enabled the investigation of a wide range of environmental microbial ecosystems, but the high memory requirements for {\em de novo} assembly of short-read shotgun sequencing data from these complex populations are an increasingly large practical barrier.

Urban metagenomics uncover antibiotic resistance reservoirs in coastal beach and sewage waters
Microbiome, 2019 Microbial communities present in environmental waters constitute a reservoir for antibiotic-resistant pathogens that impact human health. For this reason, a diverse variety of water environments are being analyzed using metagenomics to uncover public ...

Fighting Antibiotic Resistance: Insights Into Human Barriers and New Opportunities
BioEssays, EarlyView.Antibiotic resistance is a public health issue leading to the emergence of multi‐resistant bacteria. Human‐dependent factors are now driving the increase of resistance, notably through antibiotic misuse in human and animal health and environmental pollution.

Metagenomics in CO2 Monitoring
Energy Procedia, 2013 AbstractLeakage from CO2 storage areas is likely to affect the microbial communities in the overlaying sediments. We have conducted a baseline characterization of the microbial communities present in the surface sediments overlaying the Johansen formation, a potential site for CO2 storage, using metagenomics.
