It is now clear that several of the filamentous bacteria in activated sludge wastewater
treatment plants globally, are members of the phylum Chloroflexi. They appear to be more …

Ruminant production systems face significant challenges currently, driven by heightened
awareness of their negative environmental impact and the rapidly rising global population …

Identifying differentially abundant microbes is a common goal of microbiome studies.
Multiple methods are used interchangeably for this purpose in the literature. Yet, there are …

The field of microbiome research has evolved rapidly over the past few decades and has

Systematic characterization of the cancer microbiome provides the opportunity to develop
techniques that exploit non-human, microorganism-derived molecules in the diagnosis of a …

Nitrogen-use efficiency of indica varieties of rice is superior to that of japonica varieties. We
apply 16S ribosomal RNA gene profiling to characterize root microbiota of 68 indica and 27 …

The mechanistic role of the airway microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

One major limitation of microbial community marker gene sequencing is that it does not
provide direct information on the functional composition of sampled communities. Here, we …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) manifests as alterations in complex human behaviors
including social communication and stereotypies. In addition to genetic risks, the gut …

Long-read sequencing technologies have substantially improved the assemblies of many
isolate bacterial genomes as compared to fragmented short-read assemblies. However …
