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.

Transcriptional Shifts Highlight the Role of Nutrients in Harmful Brown Tide Dynamics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Harmful algal blooms (HABs) threaten ecosystems and human health worldwide. Controlling nitrogen inputs to coastal waters is a common HAB management strategy, as nutrient concentrations often suggest coastal blooms are nitrogen-limited. However, defining

Structured RNA Contaminants in Bacterial Ribo-Seq
mSphere, 2020 Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) is a powerful method to study translation in bacteria. However, Ribo-Seq signal can be observed across RNAs that one would not expect to be bound by ribosomes.
