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 ...

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 ...

Prediction of microbial communities for urban metagenomics using neural network approach. [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...

A pipeline for targeted metagenomics of environmental bacteria. [PDF]
, 2020 BackgroundMetagenomics and single cell genomics provide a window into the genetic repertoire of yet uncultivated microorganisms, but both methods are usually taxonomically untargeted.

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 ...

Pathology and viral metagenomics, a recent history [PDF]
, 2013 Human, animal and plant viral pathologies have greatly benefited from recent metagenomics development. Viral metagenomics is a culture-independent approach used to investigate the complete viral genetic populations of a sample.

A Vavilovian approach to discovering crop-associated microbes with potential to enhance plant immunity [PDF]
, 2014 Through active associations with a diverse community of largely non-pathogenic microbes, a plant may be thought of as possessing an “extended genotype,” an interactive cross-organismal genome with potential, exploitable implications for plant immunity ...

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 ...

Metagenome of a polluted river reveals a reservoir of metabolic and antibiotic resistance genes
Environmental Microbiome, 2019 Background Yamuna, a major tributary of Ganga, which flows through the national capital region of Delhi, is among the major polluted rivers in India. The accumulation of various effluents, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and increased organic load in the ...
