Sizing up metatranscriptomics [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract A typical marine bacterial cell in coastal seawater contains only ∼200 molecules of mRNA, each of which lasts only a few minutes before being degraded. Such a surprisingly small and dynamic cellular mRNA reservoir has important implications for understanding the bacterium’s responses to environmental signals, as well as for ...

Combined analysis of microbial metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing data to assess in situ physiological conditions in the premature infant gut. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Microbes alter their transcriptomic profiles in response to the environment. The physiological conditions experienced by a microbial community can thus be inferred using meta-transcriptomic sequencing by comparing transcription levels of specifically ...

Unlocking the Hidden Genetic Diversity of Varicosaviruses, the Neglected Plant Rhabdoviruses

open access: yesPathogens, 2022
The genus Varicosavirus is one of six genera of plant-infecting rhabdoviruses. Varicosaviruses have non-enveloped, flexuous, rod-shaped virions and a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. A distinguishing feature of varicosaviruses, which is shared

Use of Metatranscriptomics in Microbiome Research [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2016
The human intestinal microbiome is a microbial ecosystem that expresses as many as 100 times more genes than the human host, thereby constituting an important component of the human holobiome, which contributes to multiple health and disease processes.

Gene finding in metatranscriptomic sequences [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2014
Metatranscriptomic sequencing is a highly sensitive bioassay of functional activity in a microbial community, providing complementary information to the metagenomic sequencing of the community. The acquisition of the metatranscriptomic sequences will enable us to refine the annotations of the metagenomes, and to study the gene activities and their ...

Molecular signature of postmortem lung tissue from COVID-19 patients suggests distinct trajectories driving mortality

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2022
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that manifest lung abnormalities during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, we performed whole-transcriptome sequencing of lung autopsies from 31 patients with severe COVID-19 and

Metatranscriptomes from diverse microbial communities: assessment of data reduction techniques for rigorous annotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Metatranscriptome sequence data can contain highly redundant sequences from diverse populations of microbes and so data reduction techniques are often applied before taxonomic and functional annotation.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Evidence Supports Methane Metabolism in Archaeoglobi

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Euryarchaeal lineages have been believed to have a methanogenic last common ancestor. However, members of euryarchaeal Archaeoglobi have long been considered nonmethanogenic and their evolutionary history remains elusive.

Gut Microbial Metabolism and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The gut microbiome, the multispecies community of microbes that exists in the gastrointestinal tract, encodes several orders of magnitude more functional genes than the human genome. It also plays a pivotal role in human health, in part due to metabolism

SAMSA2: a standalone metatranscriptome analysis pipeline [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Abstract Background Complex microbial communities are an area of rapid growth in biology. Metatranscriptomics allows one to investigate the gene activity in an environmental sample via high-throughput sequencing.
