A machine-learning informed circulating microbial DNA signature for early diagnosis of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Gut microbes
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has seen a dramatic rise in incidence in developed countries over the past three decades. Early detection of its precursors-gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus (BE), and high-grade dysplasia (HG...

Predicting hydrocarbon presence in marine cold seep sediments using machine learning models trained with benthic bacterial 16S rRNA taxonomy.

Microbiology spectrum
UNLABELLED: Hydrocarbon seepage in marine sediments exerts selective pressure on benthic microbiomes. Accordingly, microbial community composition in these sediments can reflect the presence of hydrocarbons, with specific groups being more prolific i...

Skin Microbiome alterations in heroin users revealed by full-length 16S rRNA sequencing.

BMC microbiology
BACKGROUND: Identifying key characteristics of unknown suspects, such as age, height, and drug use, is essential for advancing forensic investigations.

Interpretive prediction of hyperuricemia and gout patients via machine learning analysis of human gut microbiome.

BMC microbiology
Hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout result from imbalances in uric acid metabolism and are closely associated with the gut microbiota. Advanced analytical methods facilitate the exploration of microbiota complexity. In this study, 16S rRNA sequencing data f...

Predictive biophysical neural network modeling of a compendium of in vivo transcription factor DNA binding profiles for Escherichia coli.

Nature communications
The DNA binding of most Escherichia coli Transcription Factors (TFs) has not been comprehensively mapped, and few have models that can quantitatively predict binding affinity. We report the global mapping of in vivo DNA binding for 139 E. coli TFs us...

Accurate prediction of absolute prokaryotic abundance from DNA concentration.

Cell reports methods
Quantification of the absolute microbial abundance in a human stool sample is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the microbial ecosystem, but this information is lost upon metagenomic sequencing. While several methods exist to measure absol...

Clinical evaluation of a multiplex droplet digital PCR for diagnosing suspected bloodstream infections: a prospective study.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: Though droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has emerged as a promising tool for early pathogen detection in bloodstream infections (BSIs), more studies are needed to support its clinical application widely due to different ddPCR platforms with dis...

Optimizing the production and efficacy of antimicrobial bioactive compounds from in combating multi-drug-resistant pathogens.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: The rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has intensified the search for novel antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to isolate from local soil samples and evaluate its antimicrobial properties, along with optimizing the production of ...

Gut microbial composition associated with risk of premature aging in women with Yin-deficiency constitution.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: Yin-deficiency constitution (YinDC) refers to a traditional Chinese medicine concept, characterized by an imbalance state that includes an imbalance in the gut microbiota, resulting from a relative deficiency of Yin fluids within the body...

A drop dispenser for simplifying on-farm detection of foodborne pathogens.

PloS one
Nucleic-acid biosensors have emerged as useful tools for on-farm detection of foodborne pathogens on fresh produce. Such tools are specifically designed to be user-friendly so that a producer can operate them with minimal training and in a few simple...
