MegaR: an interactive R package for rapid sample classification and phenotype prediction using metagenome profiles and machine learning.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Diverse microbiome communities drive biogeochemical processes and evolution of animals in their ecosystems. Many microbiome projects have demonstrated the power of using metagenomics to understand the structures and factors influencing th...

Unraveling city-specific signature and identifying sample origin locations for the data from CAMDA MetaSUB challenge.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: Composition of microbial communities can be location-specific, and the different abundance of taxon within location could help us to unravel city-specific signature and predict the sample origin locations accurately. In this study, the wh...

Deep learning for HGT insertion sites recognition.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) refers to the sharing of genetic materials between distant species that are not in a parent-offspring relationship. The HGT insertion sites are important to understand the HGT mechanisms. Recent studies in m...

Systematic evaluation of supervised machine learning for sample origin prediction using metagenomic sequencing data.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: The advent of metagenomic sequencing provides microbial abundance patterns that can be leveraged for sample origin prediction. Supervised machine learning classification approaches have been reported to predict sample origin accurately wh...

A machine learning framework to determine geolocations from metagenomic profiling.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: Studies on metagenomic data of environmental microbial samples found that microbial communities seem to be geolocation-specific, and the microbiome abundance profile can be a differentiating feature to identify samples' geolocations. In t...

Deep learning in next-generation sequencing.

Drug discovery today
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods lie at the heart of large parts of biological and medical research. Their fundamental importance has created a continuously increasing demand for processing and analysis methods of the data sets produced, addr...

Keeping up with the genomes: efficient learning of our increasing knowledge of the tree of life.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: It is a computational challenge for current metagenomic classifiers to keep up with the pace of training data generated from genome sequencing projects, such as the exponentially-growing NCBI RefSeq bacterial genome database. When new ref...

Metatranscriptomics reveals the gene functions and metabolic properties of the major microbial community during Chinese Sichuan Paocai fermentation.

Food microbiology
Chinese Sichuan Paocai (CSP) is one of the world's best-known fermented vegetables with a large presence in the Chinese market. The dynamic microbial community is the main contributor to Paocai fermentation. However, little is known about the ecologi...

Predicting host taxonomic information from viral genomes: A comparison of feature representations.

PLoS computational biology
The rise in metagenomics has led to an exponential growth in virus discovery. However, the majority of these new virus sequences have no assigned host. Current machine learning approaches to predicting virus host interactions have a tendency to focus...
