The community of microorganisms inhabiting a specific environment, such as the human gut - including bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, protozoa, and others - is known as the microbiota. A holobiont, in turn, refers to an integrated ecological unit w...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotics are essential for medical procedures, food security, and public health. However, ill-advised usage leads to increased pathogen resistance to antimicrobial substances, posing a threat of fatal infections and limiting the benefi...
Metagenomics, particularly genome-resolved metagenomics, have significantly deepened our understanding of microbes, illuminating their taxonomic and functional diversity and roles in ecology, physiology, and evolution. However, eukaryotic populations...
BACKGROUND: Accurate classification of host phenotypes from microbiome data is crucial for advancing microbiome-based therapies, with machine learning offering effective solutions. However, the complexity of the gut microbiome, data sparsity, composi...
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) poses significant environmental risks, and identifying HBCD-degrading microbes and their enzymatic mechanisms is challenging due to the complexity of microbial interactions and metabolic pathways. This study aimed to ide...
Sex differences in the gut microbiome have been examined previously, but results are inconsistent, often due to small sample sizes. We investigated sex and menopausal differences in the gut microbiome in a large multi-ethnic population cohort study, ...
BACKGROUND: Sequencing-based genetic testing is widely used in biomedical research, including pathogenic microorganism detection with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The application of sequencing results to clinical diagnosis and treat...
UNLABELLED: The increasing knowledge of microbial ecology in food products relating to quality and safety and the established usefulness of machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection in multiple scenarios suggests that the application of micro...
The pervasive presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic systems facilitates the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), thereby posing risks to ecosystems and human well-being. However, owing to variations in environmental backgrounds an...
