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 ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

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

The gut mycobiome of the Human Microbiome Project healthy cohort

Microbiome, 2017
Background Most studies describing the human gut microbiome in healthy and diseased states have emphasized the bacterial component, but the fungal microbiome (i.e., the mycobiome) is beginning to gain recognition as a fundamental part of our microbiome ...

Molecular Phenomics and Metagenomics of Hepatic Steatosis in Non-Diabetic Obese Women

Nature Network Boston, 2018
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 ...

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.
