Abstract Summary: MEGAHIT is a NGS de novo assembler for assembling large and complex metagenomics data in a time- and cost-efficient manner. It finished assembling a soil metagenomics dataset with 252 Gbps in 44.1 and 9...

BACKGROUND: VSEARCH is an open source and free of charge multithreaded 64-bit tool for processing and preparing metagenomics, genomics and population genomics nucleotide sequence data. It is designed as an alternative to...

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is valuable for molecular testing, but typically requires specialized collection tubes or immediate processing. We investigated whether residual plasma from heparin separators, routinely...

Abstract Dietary protein plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome and modulating intestinal amino acid metabolism. Gut microbiome is recognized as a reservoir for carrying antimicrobial resistance genes. Howeve...

Abstract Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) is a recently discovered morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, which include several highly contagious viruses with zoonotic potential. In this case report we describe the dete...

Abstract Non-invasive fecal sampling is essential for molecular wildlife studies such as gut microbiome (GMB) research, yet field conditions often limit preservation options. To test the effects of preservation methods o...

High histamine content in salted-ripened fish results in food safety detriment. The present study focused on the assembly of mixed cultures from halophilic prokaryotes isolated during salting-ripening anchovy process in ...

Abstract Background This study investigates the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus infection on triglyceride metabolism through alterations in the gut microbiome, using a faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) mouse mo...

Protected cultivation systems offer opportunities for improving potato productivity but are often constrained by inefficient maize stover utilization and suboptimal fertilization practices. In this study, a 4 × 4 fa...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The links between oral health and female ageing are poorly understood, but many changes occur in the oral cavity of menopausal women that affect quality of life, and few current oral health inter...

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating public health threat in Africa, driven by high infectious disease burden, unregulated antimicrobial use, limited laboratory capacity, and fragmented sur...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Foodborne pathogen outbreaks impose a substantial and escalating burden on global public health, food systems, and economies, with the World Health Organization estimating over 600 million illness episodes and 420,000 de...

Abstract “Miyamikhri,” a traditionally fermented bamboo shoot consumed by the Dimasa tribe of Assam, was investigated using a multi-omics approach integrating metagenomics, functional prediction, molecular docking, a...

Abstract Background The microbiome is significant for conservation biology and should be considered in threatened species management programs. Commensal microbes contribute important functions for host health, while path...
