African army ants at the forefront of virome surveillance in a remote tropical forest
Peer Community Journal, 2023 In this study, we used a predator-enabled metagenomics strategy to sample the virome of a remote and difficult-to-access densely forested African tropical region.

Metagenomic identification of viral sequences in laboratory reagents [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 2.AbstractMetagenomic next-generation sequencing has transformed the discovery and diagnosis of infectious disease, with the power to characterize the complete ‘infectome’ (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) of an individual host organism. However, the identification of novel pathogens has been complicated by widespread microbial contamination in ...

Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation [PDF]
, 2009 The remarkable diversity of genes within the pool of prokaryotic genomes belonging to the same species or pan-genome is difficult to reconcile with the widely accepted paradigm which asserts that periodic selection within bacterial populations would ...

A pipeline for targeted metagenomics of environmental bacteria. [PDF]
, 2020 BackgroundMetagenomics and single cell genomics provide a window into the genetic repertoire of yet uncultivated microorganisms, but both methods are usually taxonomically untargeted.

Viral metagenomics and blood safety
Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2016 The characterization of the human blood-associated viral community (also called blood virome) is essential for epidemiological surveillance and to anticipate new potential threats for blood transfusion safety. Currently, the risk of blood-borne agent transmission of well-known viruses (HBV, HCV, HIV and HTLV) can be considered as under control in high ...

Deciphering the Human Virome with Single-Virus Genomics and Metagenomics
Viruses, 2018 Single-cell genomics has unveiled the metabolic potential of dominant microbes inhabiting different environments, including the human body. The lack of genomic information for predominant microbes of the human body, such as bacteriophages, hinders our ...

Mining for viral fragments in methylation enriched sequencing data [PDF]
, 2015 Most next generation sequencing experiments generate more data than is required for the experimental set up. For example, methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) affinity purification based sequencing is often used for DNA-methylation profiling, but up to 30% of

Chapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distribution [PDF]
, 2017 Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces.

New Viruses in Idiopathic Human Diarrhea Cases, the Netherlands
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Emerging viral infections can be identified by using a viral metagenomics approach for clinical human material. Diarrhea samples of patients with unexplained gastroenteritis from the Netherlands were analyzed by using viral metagenomics.
