Diverse microbial communities of bacteria, archaea, viruses and single-celled eukaryotes
have crucial roles in the environment and in human health. However, microbes are …

The study of metagenomics has been much benefited from low-cost and high-throughput
sequencing technologies, yet the tremendous amount of data generated make analysis like …

In macroecology, the concept of r‐and K‐strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have
been limited studies on microbial life‐history strategies in temperate grasslands using …

The characterization of baseline microbial and functional diversity in the human microbiome
has enabled studies of microbiome-related disease, diversity, biogeography, and molecular …

While metagenomics has emerged as a technology of choice for analyzing bacterial
populations, the assembly of metagenomic data remains challenging, thus stifling biological …

Shotgun sequencing enables the reconstruction of genomes from complex microbial
communities, but because assembly does not reconstruct entire genomes, it is necessary to …

We present an in silico approach for the reconstruction of complete mitochondrial genomes
of non-model organisms directly from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data …

Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these
environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial …

Background The gut microbiome influences myriad host functions, including nutrient
acquisition, immune modulation, brain development, and behavior. Although human gut …

As the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, various de novo assembly
algorithms based on the de Bruijn graph have been developed to construct chromosome …
