Comparison between metatranscriptomics and viral metagenomics, 16S, and host transcriptomics for comprehensive profiling of the respiratory microbiome and host response [PDF]
IntroductionOmics-based studies focusing on a single kingdom, such as bacterial 16S gene sequencing, viral metagenomics, and human mRNA sequencing, are commonly used to explore the microbiome and its association with host responses.

Enhancing infectious intestinal disease diagnosis through metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing of 1000 human diarrhoeal samples [PDF]
Background Current surveillance of diarrhoeal disease is hindered by limitations of traditional diagnostic approaches, which often fail to identify the causative organism, particularly for novel or hard-to-culture bacterial pathogens.

Understanding human health through metatranscriptomics.
Metatranscriptomics has revolutionized our ability to explore and understand transcriptional programs in microbial communities. Moreover, it has enabled us to gain deeper and more specific insight into the microbial activities in human gut, respiratory, oral, and vaginal communities. Perhaps the most important contribution of metatranscriptomics arises,

SAMSA: a comprehensive metatranscriptome analysis pipeline [PDF]
BackgroundAlthough metatranscriptomics-the study of diverse microbial population activity based on RNA-seq data-is rapidly growing in popularity, there are limited options for biologists to analyze this type of data.
