In metagenomic analyses of microbiomes, one of the first steps is usually the taxonomic classification of reads by comparison to a database of previously taxonomically classified …
Globally, environmental pollution by plastic waste has become a severe ecological and social problem worldwide. The present study aimed to analyse the bacterial community …
The majority of microbial genomes have yet to be cultured, and most proteins identified in microbial genomes or environmental sequences cannot be functionally annotated. As a …
The human microbiome has emerged as a central research topic in human biology and biomedicine. Current microbiome studies generate high-throughput omics data across …
Complex assemblages of microbes in the surface ocean are responsible for approximately half of global carbon fixation. The persistence of high taxonomic diversity despite …
Background and aims Birth mode and other early life factors affect a newborn's microbial colonization with potential long-term health effects. Individual variations in early life gut …
Abstract Background Genomic Observatories (GOs) are sites of long-term scientific study that undertake regular assessments of the genomic biodiversity. The European Marine …
