With more than 1,000 bacterial and archaeal genome sequences now available, we look at the progress that has been made over the past 15 years. This data explosion was fuelled by improvements in ...

However, in the course of our analysis of human brain transcriptome data, we have noted a surprisingly high level of microbial sequences, which appear to differ in different brain regions. We are ...

Metagenomic datasets could help map out microbial diversity hotspots. Published January 17, 2025 in Science Advances, ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), a DOE Office of Science User Facility located at Berkeley Laboratory, have published a study in Science Advances that ...

Using publicly available genome sequence data generated over the past three decades, their study assesses what fraction of the microbial diversity we know about, and proposes a path forward to ...

Bacterial communities analysed at 8500 sequences per sample showed about 1500 OTUs per sample in the L and H horizon-derived DNA (LD and HD) and in the L-derived RNA (LR) samples, about 1200 OTUs ...

One solution is to develop age estimation models using gut microbial sequences. Such models could also help elucidate normative, healthy gut development. Geographic diversity in data: The study ...

With the help of a supercomputer to vastly speed up the process, the researchers assembled what are called metagenomes from each water sample, a technique designed to look closely at genetic sequences ...

Changes in oral microbiota were associated with precancerous lesions and disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract in a ...
