Reviews in Medical Virology, 2007 AbstractCharacterisation of new viruses is often hindered by difficulties in amplifying them in cell culture, limited antigenic/serological cross‐reactivity or the lack of nucleic acid hybridisation to known viral sequences. Numerous molecular methods have been used to genetically characterise new viruses without prior in vitro replication or the use ...

A Bioinformatician's Guide to Metagenomics [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2008 SUMMARYAs random shotgun metagenomic projects proliferate and become the dominant source of publicly available sequence data, procedures for the best practices in their execution and analysis become increasingly important. Based on our experience at the Joint Genome Institute, we describe the chain of decisions accompanying a metagenomic project from ...

Investigating Colonization of the Healthy Adult Gastrointestinal Tract by Fungi
mSphere, 2018 A wide diversity of fungi have been detected in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract with the potential to provide or influence important functions. However, many of the fungi most commonly detected in stool samples are also present in food or the oral ...

Maximal viral information recovery from sequence data using VirMAP
Nature Communications, 2018 Viral taxonomic characterization from metagenomic data suffers from high background noise and signal crosstalk. Here, the authors develop VirMAP, a novel pipeline for analyses of metagenomic data that classifies viral reconstructions independent of ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Pattern-Recognition Receptors and Cervical Microbiome in Patients with Early Miscarriages
International Journal of InflammationEarly miscarriages are one of the main causes of reproductive losses. The objective of this study was to estimate Toll- and NOD-like receptors mRNA expression levels and their correlation with microbiome composition in the endocervix of patients with 1st
