Metatranscriptomic census of active protists in soils [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2015 Abstract The high numbers and diversity of protists in soil systems have long been presumed, but their true diversity and community composition have remained largely concealed. Traditional cultivation-based methods miss a majority of taxa, whereas molecular barcoding approaches employing PCR introduce significant biases in reported ...

The Viral Fraction Metatranscriptomes of Lake Baikal
Microorganisms, 2022 This article characterises viral fraction metatranscriptomes (smaller than 0.2 µm) from the pelagic zone of oligotrophic Lake Baikal (Russia). The study revealed the dominance of transcripts of DNA viruses: bacteriophages and algal viruses. We identified transcripts similar to Pithovirus sibericum, a nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) isolated ...

Consistency of Targeted Metatranscriptomics and Morphological Characterization of Phytoplankton Communities [PDF]
, 2020 The composition of phytoplankton community is the basis for environmental monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Community composition studies of phytoplankton have been based on time-consuming and expertise-demanding ...

Regulatory Noncoding Small RNAs Are Diverse and Abundant in an Extremophilic Microbial Community
mSystems, 2020 Regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) play large-scale and essential roles in many cellular processes across all domains of life. Microbial sRNAs have been extensively studied in model organisms, but very little is known about the dynamics of sRNA synthesis and ...

DNA/RNA Preservation in Glacial Snow and Ice Samples
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The preservation of nucleic acids for high-throughput sequencing is an ongoing challenge for field scientists. In particular, samples that are low biomass, or that have to be collected and preserved in logistically challenging environments (such as ...

Advances and Challenges in Metatranscriptomic Analysis
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Sequencing-based analyses of microbiomes have traditionally focused on addressing the question of community membership and profiling taxonomic abundance through amplicon sequencing of 16 rRNA genes. More recently, shotgun metagenomics, which involves the random sequencing of all genomic content of a microbiome, has dominated this arena due to ...

MetaTrans: an open-source pipeline for metatranscriptomics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractTo date, meta-omic approaches use high-throughput sequencing technologies, which produce a huge amount of data, thus challenging modern computers. Here we present MetaTrans, an efficient open-source pipeline to analyze the structure and functions of active microbial communities using the power of multi-threading computers.
