Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Antrodia cinnamomea reduces obesity and modulates the gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed mice. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundObesity is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, disrupted intestinal barrier and chronic inflammation. Given the high and increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, anti-obesity treatments that are safe, effective and widely available ...

Assessment of PHRED Score Characteristics inIllumina MiSeq Amplicon Sequencing

Abstract Background: PHRED scores are confidence values associated with each basecall generated by sequencers. The score is defined as the probability that the basecall is incorrect. The calibration of PHRED scores has been examined in other studies by evaluating errors made in reading known sequences.

Microhaplotype Methods Enable Relationship Inference in a Bottlenecked Mammalian Species

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) are among the most genetically depauperate mammals in the world. A near‐total population bottleneck in the 19th century, coupled with the breeding system of extreme polygyny, has challenged efforts to estimate individual reproductive success with genetic methods.

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Dynamic 16S rRNA Sequencing of the Abdominal Wall Surgical Site Highlights Potential Pathways of Incisional Surgical Site Infection in Colorectal Surgery

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Understanding the microbial changes within the surgical site may enhance our understanding of the origin and subsequent role of microbes in the causation of incisional surgical site infections (SSIs). In this study we used 16S rRNA sequencing to establish the dynamic microbiota of the surgical site in patients undergoing bowel ...

Changes in the microbiome and metabolome in captive red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus) affected by macropod progressive periodontal disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Macropod progressive periodontal disease (MPPD) is a severe oral condition frequently observed in captive macropods, particularly red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus), yet its underlying biological features remain poorly understood. In this exploratory descriptive study, we investigated oral and fecal microbiomes and metabolomic profiles in captive red ...

Iron overload in hereditary spherocytosis: Are genetic factors the cause?

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Non‐transfusional iron overload (IOL) in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is poorly documented compared with other red blood cell disorders. We studied 13 HS adults with confirmed IOL to identify potential genetic factors. Using a next‐generation sequencing panel of 46 genes related to HS, anaemia and iron metabolism, we found no association ...

A Transcriptomic Analysis of Cancer‐Stromal Interactome in Lung Cancer Xenograft Models

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the lung cancer interactome to identify key ligand–receptor pairs involved in the aggressiveness of lung adenocarcinoma. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 12 and its receptor tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A signaling axis may be potential candidates for therapeutic intervention for ...
