Genome-resolved metagenomics is a computational method that enables researchers to reconstruct microbial genomes from a given sample directly. This process involves three major steps, i.e. (i) preprocessing of the reads (ii) metagenome assembly, and ...
Application of machine learning-based methods to identify novel bacterial enzymes capable of degrading a wide range of xenobiotics offers enormous potential for bioremediation of toxic and carcinogenic recalcitrant xenobiotics such as pesticides, pla...
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), key in synthesizing microbial secondary metabolites, are mostly hidden in microbial genomes and metagenomes. To unearth this vast potential, we present BGC-Prophet, a transformer-based language model for BGC predict...
One of the main goals of metagenomic studies is to describe the taxonomic diversity of microbial communities. A crucial step in metagenomic analysis is metagenomic binning, which involves the (supervised) classification or (unsupervised) clustering o...
MOTIVATION: Progress in sequencing technology has led to determination of large numbers of protein sequences, and large enzyme databases are now available. Although many computational tools for enzyme annotation were developed, sequence information i...
Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder and one of the fastest-growing global public health concerns. The gut microbiota is implicated in the pathophysiology of various diseases, including diabetes. This study utilized 16S rRNA metagenomic ...
Invertible promoters (invertons) are crucial regulatory elements in bacteria, facilitating gene expression changes under stress. Despite their importance, their prevalence and the range of regulated gene functions are largely unknown. We introduced D...
This study addresses the challenging task of identifying viruses within metagenomic data, which encompasses a broad array of biological samples, including animal reservoirs, environmental sources, and the human body. Traditional methods for virus ide...
The gut microbiota plays a vital role in human health, and significant effort has been made to predict human phenotypes, especially diseases, with the microbiota as a promising indicator or predictor with machine learning (ML) methods. However, the a...
Metagenomic analyses facilitate the exploration of the microbial world, advancing our understanding of microbial roles in ecological and biological processes. A pivotal aspect of metagenomic analysis involves assessing the quality of metagenome-assem...
