Analyzing the microbiome of diverse species and environments using next-generation
sequencing techniques has significantly enhanced our understanding on metabolic …

Biological wastewater treatment is a process in which the microbial metabolism of complex
communities transforms pollutants into low-or non-toxic products. Due to the absence of an …

Background In shotgun metagenomics, microbial communities are studied through direct
sequencing of DNA without any prior cultivation. By comparing gene abundances estimated …

The recent development of cost‐effective high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies
has tremendously increased microbiome research. However, it has been well documented …

Mounting evidence has shown that gut microbiome is associated with various cancers,
including gastrointestinal (GI) tract and non-GI tract cancers. But microbiome data have …

Background Environmental and commensal bacteria maintain a diverse and largely
unknown collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that, over time, may be mobilized …

Background Integrons are genomic elements that mediate horizontal gene transfer by
inserting and removing genetic material using site-specific recombination. Integrons are …

The investigation of hydrocarbon degradation potential of environmental microorganisms is
an important research topic, whether for the global carbon cycle or oil pollution remediation …

Motivated by recent research on quantifying bacterial growth dynamics based on genome
assemblies, we consider a permuted monotone matrix model Y= Θ Π+ Z, where the rows …

Reproducibility, the ability to reproduce the results of published papers or studies using their
computer code and data, is a cornerstone of reliable scientific methodology. Studies where …
