Ruminant animals house a dense and diverse community of microorganisms in their rumen,
an enlarged compartment in their stomach, which provides a supportive environment for the …

Metagenomic binning has revolutionized the study of uncultured microorganisms. Here we
compare single-and multi-coverage binning on the same set of samples, and demonstrate …

Background The gut microbiota of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), a global
symbol of conservation, are believed to be involved in the host's dietary switch to a fibrous …

Adaptive sampling is a method of software-controlled enrichment unique to nanopore
sequencing platforms. To test its potential for enrichment of rarer species within …

Agricultural productivity is highly influenced by its associated microbial community. With
advancements in omics technology, metagenomics is known to play a vital role in microbial …

Buffalo is an important livestock species. Here, we present a comprehensive metagenomic
survey of the microbial communities along the buffalo digestive tract. We analysed 695 …

Rumen microbiota facilitates nutrition through digestion of recalcitrant lignocellulosic
substrates into energy-accessible nutrients and essential metabolites. Despite the high …

Background The gut microbiota play important roles in host adaptation and evolution, but
are understudied in natural population of wild mammals. To address host adaptive evolution …

The chicken gut microbiota, as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), poses a
high risk to humans and animals worldwide. Yet a comprehensive exploration of the chicken …

Microbiome analysis is quickly moving towards high-throughput methods such as
metagenomic sequencing. Accurate taxonomic classification of metagenomic data relies on …
