Microbiome research has grown rapidly over the past decade, with a proliferation of new
methods that seek to make sense of large, complex data sets. Here, we survey two of the …

Metagenomics and marker gene approaches, coupled with high-throughput sequencing
technologies, have revolutionized the field of microbial ecology. Metagenomics is a culture …

While metagenomics has emerged as a technology of choice for analyzing bacterial
populations, the assembly of metagenomic data remains challenging, thus stifling biological …

The recovery of genomes from metagenomic datasets is a critical step to defining the
functional roles of the underlying uncultivated populations. We previously developed …

Grouping large genomic fragments assembled from shotgun metagenomic sequences to
deconvolute complex microbial communities, or metagenome binning, enables the study of …

Background Recovering individual genomes from metagenomic datasets allows access to
uncultivated microbial populations that may have important roles in natural and engineered …

Motivation: An important step of" metagenomics" analysis is the assembly of multiple
genomes from mixed sequence reads of multiple species in a microbial community. Most …

High-throughput sequencing technology is rapidly improving in quality, speed and cost. It is
therefore becoming more widely used to study whole communities of prokaryotes in many …

Advanced age is characterized by several changes, one of which is the impairment of the
homeostasis of intestinal microbiota. These alterations critically influence host health and …

Characterizing the taxonomic diversity of microbial communities is one of the primary
objectives of metagenomic studies. Taxonomic analysis of microbial communities, a process …
