Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on earth, and play vital roles in many aspects of microbial communities. As major human pathogens, viruses have caused huge mortality and morbidity to human society in history. Metagenomic sequencing ...
Identification of environment specific marker-features is one of the key objectives of many metagenomic studies. It aims to identify such features in microbiome datasets that may serve as markers of the contrasting or comparable states. Hypothesis te...
Metagenomic sequencing methods provide considerable genomic information regarding human microbiomes, enabling us to discover and understand microbial diseases. Compositional differences have been reported between patients and healthy people, which co...
Clinical metagenomics is a powerful diagnostic tool, as it offers an open view into all DNA in a patient's sample. This allows the detection of pathogens that would slip through the cracks of classical specific assays. However, due to this unspecific...

The human health status can be assessed by the means of research and analysis of the human microbiome. Acne is a common skin disease whose morbidity increases year by year. The lipids which influence acne to a large extent are studied by metagenomic ...
We present SquiggleNet, the first deep-learning model that can classify nanopore reads directly from their electrical signals. SquiggleNet operates faster than DNA passes through the pore, allowing real-time classification and read ejection. Using 1 ...

A variety of biological sequence classification tasks, such as species classification, gene function classification and viral host classification, are expected processes in many metagenomic data analyses. Since metagenomic data contain a large number...
The trRosetta structure prediction method employs deep learning to generate predicted residue-residue distance and orientation distributions from which 3D models are built. We sought to improve the method by incorporating as inputs (in addition to se...
BACKGROUND: The increasing use of whole metagenome sequencing has spurred the need to improve de novo assemblers to facilitate the discovery of unknown species and the analysis of their genomic functions. MetaVelvet-SL is a short-read de novo metagen...
