Diversity, transfer potential, and transcriptional activity of virus‐carried antibiotic resistance genes in global estuaries

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Next-generation sequencing of dsRNA is greatly improved by treatment with the inexpensive denaturing reagent DMSO. [PDF]

, 2019
dsRNA is the genetic material of important viruses and a key component of RNA interference-based immunity in eukaryotes. Previous studies have noted difficulties in determining the sequence of dsRNA molecules that have affected studies of immune function

Application of high-throughput sequencing to whole rabies viral genome characterisation and its use for phylogenetic re-evaluation of a raccoon strain incursion into the province of Ontario [PDF]

, 2017
Raccoon rabies remains a serious public health problem throughout much of the eastern seaboard of North America due to the urban nature of the reservoir host and the many challenges inherent in multi-jurisdictional efforts to administer co-ordinated and ...

Nano‐plastics disrupt systemic metabolism by remodeling the bile acid–microbiota axis and driving hepatic–intestinal dysfunction

iMeta, EarlyView.
The pervasiveness of microplastic pollution poses a growing health risk, yet its long‐term metabolic consequences remain poorly defined. Here, we exposed mice to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticle (NP) and combined histopathology, biochemistry, metabolomics, and metagenomics to resolve their interactions.

Generating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as agents of mortality, but also as potential vectors for lateral gene flow, and as elements encoding ...

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Aquatic viral metagenomics: Lights and shadows

Virus Research, 2017
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, exceeding bacteria in most of the ecosystems. Specially in oceans, viruses are thought to be the major planktonic predators shaping microorganism communities and controlling ocean biological capacity. Plankton lysis by viruses plays an important role in ocean nutrient and energy cycles.

Monitoring of airborne biological particles in outdoor atmosphere. Part 2: Metagenomics applied to urban environments [PDF]

, 2016
The air we breathe contains microscopic biological particles such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and pollen, some of them with relevant clinic importance. These organisms and/or their propagules have been traditionally studied by different disciplines and ...

Schisantherin A: Remodeling Gut Microbiota to Activate the Gut–Immune–Neural–Adipose Axis for Thermogenesis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global obesity epidemic necessitates safe and effective strategies to enhance energy expenditure. Schisantherin A (Sin A), a lignan derived from Schisandra chinensis, has demonstrated metabolic benefits, yet its systemic mechanism remains unclear.
