The burgeoning field of aquaculture has become a pivotal contributor to global food security and economic growth, presently surpassing capture fisheries in aquatic animal production as evidenced by recent statistics. However, the dense fish populatio...
The human microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms inhabiting the body, plays a critical role in human health. Investigating its association with host traits is essential for understanding its impact on various diseases. Although shotgun met...
INTRODUCTION: The gut microbiota is associated with the response to immunotherapy in cutaneous melanoma (CM). However, gut fungal biomarkers and bacterial-fungal interactions have yet to be determined.
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, ...
Antibiotic resistance has expanded as a result of the careless use of antibiotics in the medical field, the food industry, agriculture, and other industries. By means of genetic recombination between commensal and pathogenic bacteria, the microbes ob...
