Mitochondrial metagenomics: letting the genes out of the bottle [PDF]
‘Mitochondrial metagenomics’ (MMG) is a methodology for shotgun sequencing of total DNA from specimen mixtures and subsequent bioinformatic extraction of mitochondrial sequences.

Background 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (16S analysis) is widely used to analyze microbiota with next-generation sequencing technologies. Here, we compared fecal 16S analysis data from 192 Japanese volunteers using the modified V1–V2 (V12) and the ...

Recent years have seen the classification and reclassification of many viruses related to the model enterobacterial phage P2. Here, we report the identification of a prophage (Smhb1) that infects Salinivibrio kushneri BNH isolated from a Namib Desert ...

Molecular Phenomics and Metagenomics of Hepatic Steatosis in Non-Diabetic Obese Women
Hepatic steatosis is a multifactorial condition that is often observed in obese patients and is a prelude to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we combine shotgun sequencing of fecal metagenomes with molecular phenomics (hepatic transcriptome and ...

Methodology and ontology in microbiome research [PDF]
Research on the human microbiome has gen- erated a staggering amount of sequence data, revealing variation in microbial diversity at the community, species (or phylotype), and genomic levels. In order to make this complexity more manageable and easier to

Metagenomics Approaches for Improving Food Safety.
Advancements in next-generation sequencing technology have dramatically reduced the cost and increased the ease of microbial whole-genome sequencing. This is revolutionizing the identification and analysis of foodborne microbial pathogens, facilitating ...

Dirichlet multinomial mixtures: generative models for microbial metagenomics [PDF]
We introduce Dirichlet multinomial mixtures (DMM) for the probabilistic modelling of microbial metagenomics data. This data can be represented as a frequency matrix giving the number of times each taxa is observed in each sample.

Investigating Colonization of the Healthy Adult Gastrointestinal Tract by Fungi
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 ...
