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

Metagenomic sequencing is revolutionizing the detection and characterization of microbial
species, and a wide variety of software tools are available to perform taxonomic …

In the ongoing debates about eukaryogenesis—the series of evolutionary events leading to
the emergence of the eukaryotic cell from prokaryotic ancestors—members of the Asgard …

Although Kraken'sk-mer-based approach provides a fast taxonomic classification of
metagenomic sequence data, its large memory requirements can be limiting for some …

Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

Advances in the analysis of amplicon sequence datasets have introduced a methodological
shift in how research teams investigate microbial biodiversity, away from sequence identity …

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 …

Current-day metagenomics analyses increasingly involve de novo taxonomic classification
of long DNA sequences and metagenome-assembled genomes. Here, we show that the …

Methods for assembly, taxonomic profiling and binning are key to interpreting metagenome
data, but a lack of consensus about benchmarking complicates performance assessment …

Metagenomics emerged as an important field of research not only in microbial ecology but
also for human health and disease, and metagenomic studies are performed on increasingly …
