Emerging infectious diseases, particularly those of zoonotic origin, often originating from wildlife reservoirs represent a growing threat to global health. Human-driven environmental changes such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, and urban expansion have intensified interactions …
Read PDFMicrobial communities play central roles in ecosystem functioning across natural and engineered environments, yet their accurate characterization remains challenging due to methodological biases in amplicon sequencing. Primer choice can strongly influence taxonomic resolution, diversity estimates, …
Read PDF<b>Background:</b> Polyphenols interact bidirectionally with the gut microbiota and may influence short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, yet evidence from human randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has not been comprehensively synthesized. <b>Objectives:</b> In this systematic review and …
Read PDFTuanao, a traditional Northern Thai fermented soybean product, was profiled with an integrated multi-omics workflow to clarify how microbes and metabolites co-evolve during household fermentation. Soybeans were fermented spontaneously for three days; samples from four …
Read PDFMicroorganisms play central roles in regulating carbon and nitrogen cycling across watersheds, driving processes such as organic matter decomposition, primary production, nitrification, and denitrification. Rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing and environmental monitoring have enabled unprecedented …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>High-throughput sequencing technologies play an increasingly active role in the surveillance of major global health challenges, such as the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. The post-weaning period is of critical importance for the swine industry and …
Read PDFHere, we report the complete genome sequencing of a new <i>Mycobacterium</i> sp. nov. from a compromised Japanese individual with hematological malignancy. This will represent the essential data for future phylogenetic and comparative genome studies and …
Read PDFMetagenomes often contain many reads derived from eukaryotes, but there is usually no reliable method for estimating their prevalence. This forces many analysis techniques to make the often-faulty assumption that all reads are prokaryotic. Here, …
Read PDFThe human gut microbiome is essential for immune regulation and mucosal homeostasis, functions that are profoundly disrupted during HIV infection. Early viral replication in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) triggers a self-reinforcing cycle of CD4<sup>+</sup> …
Read PDFFour lakes in the same region of Aotearoa New Zealand were investigated to characterize sediment microbial communities and functions under contrasting environmental conditions. Two lakes, an acidic lake (Rototai) and a lake with elevated metals …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Numerous studies have identified disruptions in the gut microbiota of patients with migraine, and the role of the gut–brain axis in the pathogenesis and development of migraine has been established. The incidence of migraine …
Read PDFDuring infectious disease outbreaks, acquiring genetic data across various kingdoms offers essential information to tailor precise treatment methodologies and bolster clinical, epidemiological, and public health awareness. Metagenomics sequencing has paved the way for personalized treatment …
Read PDFAlzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly regarded as a "neurometabolic syndrome" wherein systemic insulin resistance exacerbates cerebral glucose hypometabolism, tau hyperphosphorylation, and neuroinflammation. We hypothesize that gut microbiota dysbiosis produces metabolites that are associated with peripheral …
Read PDFPhotosynthetic bacteria (PSB) are widely utilised in agriculture to enhance plant growth and crop quality by improving nutrient uptake and phytohormone production. This study aimed to analyse the metagenomic composition of a photo-fermentative bacterial solution …
Read PDFEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) metagenomics sequences all DNA molecules present in environmental samples and has the potential of identifying virtually any organism from which they are derived. However, due to unacceptable levels of false positives and …

Read PDFSalinity gradients drive microbial diversity and evolution in estuarine-coastal ecosystems, yet viral adaptation remains less well understood. We used metagenomics to study viral adaptation and functions in three representative estuarine-coastal regions in China. Our results …
