Simple statistical identification and removal of contaminant sequences in marker-gene and metagenomics data

Microbiome, 2017
The accuracy of microbial community surveys based on marker-gene and metagenomic sequencing (MGS) suffers from the presence of contaminants—DNA sequences not truly present in the sample.

Gut microbiota shifts favorably with delivery of handwashing with soap and water treatment intervention in a prospective cohort (CHoBI7 trial)

Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, 2023
Background Cholera can result in the expulsion of important microbiota from the gut and result in death if left untreated. The disease transmits mainly via drinking water carrying Vibrio cholerae; and household contacts (HHC) of cholera patients are at ...

The metagenomics RAST server – a public resource for the automatic phylogenetic and functional analysis of metagenomes

BMC Bioinformatics, 2008
BackgroundRandom community genomes (metagenomes) are now commonly used to study microbes in different environments. Over the past few years, the major challenge associated with metagenomics shifted from generating to analyzing sequences. High-throughput,

Metagenomics: A Tool for Exploring Key Microbiome With the Potentials for Improving Sustainable Agriculture

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Microorganisms are immense in nature and exist in every imaginable ecological niche, performing a wide range of metabolic processes. Unfortunately, using traditional microbiological methods, most microorganisms remain unculturable.

Proteomics as the final step in the functional metagenomics study of antimicrobial resistance [PDF]

, 2015
peer-reviewedThe majority of clinically applied antimicrobial agents are derived from natural products generated by soil microorganisms and therefore resistance is likely to be ubiquitous in such environments.
