Supervised machine learning outperforms taxonomy-based environmental DNA metabarcoding applied to biomonitoring.

Molecular ecology resources
Biodiversity monitoring is the standard for environmental impact assessment of anthropogenic activities. Several recent studies showed that high-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA metabarcoding) could overcome many limitations ...

Deep learning models for bacteria taxonomic classification of metagenomic data.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: An open challenge in translational bioinformatics is the analysis of sequenced metagenomes from various environmental samples. Of course, several studies demonstrated the 16S ribosomal RNA could be considered as a barcode for bacteria cla...

Tracking antibiotic resistance gene pollution from different sources using machine-learning classification.

Microbiome
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been a worldwide public health concern. Current widespread AMR pollution has posed a big challenge in accurately disentangling source-sink relationship, which has been further confounded by point and non...

Phylogenetic convolutional neural networks in metagenomics.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Convolutional Neural Networks can be effectively used only when data are endowed with an intrinsic concept of neighbourhood in the input space, as is the case of pixels in images. We introduce here Ph-CNN, a novel deep learning architectu...

Gene Prediction in Metagenomic Fragments with Deep Learning.

BioMed research international
Next generation sequencing technologies used in metagenomics yield numerous sequencing fragments which come from thousands of different species. Accurately identifying genes from metagenomics fragments is one of the most fundamental issues in metagen...

Phenotype Prediction from Metagenomic Data Using Clustering and Assembly with Multiple Instance Learning (CAMIL).

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
The recent advent of Metagenome Wide Association Studies (MGWAS) provides insight into the role of microbes on human health and disease. However, the studies present several computational challenges. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel, efficient, ...

SILVA, RDP, Greengenes, NCBI and OTT - how do these taxonomies compare?

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: A key step in microbiome sequencing analysis is read assignment to taxonomic units. This is often performed using one of four taxonomic classifications, namely SILVA, RDP, Greengenes or NCBI. It is unclear how similar these are and how to...

Prediction of virus-host infectious association by supervised learning methods.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The study of virus-host infectious association is important for understanding the functions and dynamics of microbial communities. Both cellular and fractionated viral metagenomic data generate a large number of viral contigs with missing...

Machine Learning Meta-analysis of Large Metagenomic Datasets: Tools and Biological Insights.

PLoS computational biology
Shotgun metagenomic analysis of the human associated microbiome provides a rich set of microbial features for prediction and biomarker discovery in the context of human diseases and health conditions. However, the use of such high-resolution microbia...

Comparison of Boiling and Robotics Automation Method in DNA Extraction for Metagenomic Sequencing of Human Oral Microbes.

PloS one
The rapid improvement of next-generation sequencing performance now enables us to analyze huge sample sets with more than ten thousand specimens. However, DNA extraction can still be a limiting step in such metagenomic approaches. In this study, we a...
