Dashing is a fast and accurate software tool for estimating similarities of genomes or
sequencing datasets. It uses the HyperLogLog sketch together with cardinality estimation …

Seed microbiota acts as a starting point for the assembly of the plant microbiota and
contributes to successful plant establishment. To date, the order and timing of microbial taxa …

Abstract Summary Phage–Host Interaction Search Tool (PHIST) predicts prokaryotic hosts of
viruses based on exact matches between viral and host genomes. It improves host …

Bacterial capsules and lipopolysaccharides are diverse surface polysaccharides (SPs) that
serve as the frontline for interactions with the outside world. While SPs can evolve rapidly …

Pangenomes are replacing single reference genomes as the definitive representation of
DNA sequence within a species or clade. Pangenome analysis predominantly leverages …

Recently developed MinHash-based techniques were proven successful in quickly
estimating the level of similarity between large nucleotide sequences. This article discusses …

Identification of plasmids in bacterial genomes is critical for many factors, including
horizontal gene transfer, antibiotic resistance genes, host-microbe interactions, cloning …

Alternative splicing (AS) is an important mechanism in the development of many cancers, as
novel or aberrant AS patterns play an important role as an independent onco-driver. In …

The decrease in sequencing expenses has facilitated the creation of reference genomes
and proteomes for an expanding array of organisms. Nevertheless, no established …

Multidrug-resistant microorganisms are a well-known global problem, and gram-negative
bacilli are top-ranking. When these pathogens are associated with bloodstream infections …
