Over two decades of research on the marine RNA virosphere

open access: yesiMeta, 2022
RNA viruses (realm: Riboviria), including RNA phages and eukaryote‐infecting RNA viruses, are essential components of marine ecosystems. A large number of marine RNA viruses have been discovered in the last two decades because of the rapid development of

Characterization of Bacterial Community Dynamics of the Human Mouth Throughout Decomposition via Metagenomic, Metatranscriptomic, and Culturing Techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The postmortem microbiome has recently moved to the forefront of forensic research, and many studies have focused on the idea that predictable fluctuations in decomposer communities could be used as a “microbial clock” to determine time of death ...

Rhizosphere Metatranscriptomics: Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yes, 2013
The interactions that occur between plant roots and soil microorganisms influence ecosystem function and stability, but are poorly understood. Metagenomics has revolutionized microbial ecology by facilitating the genomic characterization of microbial ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

The occurrence of banana Fusarium wilt aggravates antibiotic resistance genes dissemination in soil

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and subsequent soil-borne disease outbreaks are major threats to soil health and sustainable crop production.

Functional Characteristics of the Flying Squirrel's Cecal Microbiota under a Leaf-Based Diet, Based on Multiple Meta-Omic Profiling

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Mammalian herbivores rely on microbial activities in an expanded gut chamber to convert plant biomass into absorbable nutrients. Distinct from ruminants, small herbivores typically have a simple stomach but an enlarged cecum to harbor symbiotic microbes;

Duodenal Metatranscriptomics to Define Human and Microbial Functional Alterations Associated with Severe Obesity: A Pilot Study

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Obesity is a multifactorial disorder, and the gut microbiome has been suggested to contribute to its onset. In order to better clarify the role of the microbiome in obesity, we evaluated the metatranscriptome in duodenal biopsies from a cohort of 23 ...

High-throughput terrestrial biodiversity assessments: mitochondrial metabarcoding, metagenomics or metatranscriptomics?

open access: yes, 2018
Consensus on the optimal high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approach to examine biodiversity in mixed terrestrial arthropod samples has not been reached. Metatranscriptomics could increase the proportion of taxonomically informative mitochondrial reads in ...

Metal–Phenolic Complexation Governs Soil Mineral Crystallinity to Enhance Crop Growth

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A coordination‐driven, coprecipitation approach is presented to obtain polyphenolic‐incorporated minerals with tunable crystallinity, offering insights into how plants may influence soil mineral structures. Soil minerals can incorporate polyphenolic secondary metabolites and enhance plant nutrition by facilitating the formation of amorphous metal ...

Omnidirectional Interaction Networks Modulating Phenotypic Plasticity in the Gut Microbiota Towards Ulcerative Colitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs a spouse‐pair cohort design and an idopNetwork model that integrates evolutionary game theory, predator‐prey dynamics, and developmental modularity theory to reconstruct maximally informative microbial interaction networks. This approach reveals how interspecies interactions drive the phenotypic plasticity of the gut microbiota in ...
