What's The Difference Between Microbiome and Microbiota? 前段时间在一个学术交流群里看到有人提问Microbiome和Microbiota以及Metagenome之间的区别,回想了一下,Ken在上分子植物病理学的时候提了一嘴,当时听懂了,打算给人家解释一下,但话到嘴边又不知道该怎么说。 在网上搜了一下找到了一篇很棒的英文科普文章,作者是...
NGS technology is instrumental in production of many different types of sequence data, including draft prokaryotic genomes, eukaryotic transcripts assembled from RNA-Seq reads, sequences of prokaryotic metagenomes and eukaryotic metatranscriptomes. All these sequences may carry complete or partial protein-...
However, because microbes possess mechanisms for the horizontal transfer of genetic information, the metagenome may also be considered a community property.doi:10.1038/ismej.2009.88KonopkaAllanIsme JournalKonopka A. (2009). What is microbial community ecology? ISME J. 3 , 1223–123010.1038/ismej....
Finally, Gänzle and co-workers (contribution 4) deliver results obtained via the cloning of the α-glucan branching enzyme from a swine intestinal metagenome and elucidate its potential role in the formation of branched α-glucans from starch. The next part of the Special Issue comprises six ...
If these preserved nucleic acids are extracted for metagenomic analyses, they may contribute to the metagenome found, although the organisms are no longer alive. The contribution of preserved nucleic acids to the amount extracted in such studies thus needs to be quantified in order to assess the ...
a 10-fold decrease in the bacterial load and reduced bacterial phylotype diversity was seen after 3 days of broad-spectrum antibiotics [87]. In humans, Corbeil and colleagues demonstrated exposure to a second-generation cephalosporin over a period of 7 days led to a loss of metagenome-defined ...
Environmental studies such as the ‘Microbes, Sewage, Health and Disease’ metagenomics project in New York City (http://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/nyu-stories/video--mapping-nyc-s-metagenome.html) will provide important information on potential transmission routes and the patterns, nature...
-- The metagenome sequence of the novel coronavirus strain separated from pangolins was 99 percent identical to that from infected people, indicating pangolins may be an intermediate host of the virus, a study led by South China Agricultural University has found. ...
The human microbial metagenome is diverse and contributes uniquely to human health. A wealth of evidence indicates that imbalances in microbial composition are implicated in numerous diseases including IBD. Diet is intrinsically linked to the health status of an individual. However, until recently, the...
This "metagenome" data is then pieced together and compared to databases containing genome data from previously sequenced pathogens. Through these studies, we hope to reveal the full diversity of pathogens present in our native wildlife, and particularly, those that sit at the human-animal interface...
