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 ...

Pattern-Recognition Receptors and Cervical Microbiome in Patients with Early Miscarriages

International Journal of Inflammation
Early 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
