The soil microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting sustainable agriculture. Studying its biogeographical structure and distribution is essential for understanding the rates and mechanisms of microbially mediated...
BACKGROUND: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is a widely used method for microbiome composition analysis due to its cost-effectiveness and lower data requirements compared to metagenomic whole-genome sequencing (WGS). However, inherent limitations in 16S...
Differentiating significant microbial community changes from normal fluctuations is vital for understanding microbial dynamics in human and environmental ecosystems. This knowledge could enable early warning systems to monitor critical changes affect...
BACKGROUND: The "gut-skin axis" has been proposed to play an important role in the development and symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, we have constructed an interpretable machine learning framework to quantitatively screen key gut flora.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoparticles secreted by both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, carry various biomolecules and cross biological barriers. Gut microbiota-derived EVs are currently being investigated as a communication mechanism ...
Quantification of the absolute microbial abundance in a human stool sample is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the microbial ecosystem, but this information is lost upon metagenomic sequencing. While several methods exist to measure absol...
UNLABELLED: Endometriosis (EM) and adenomyosis (AM) are interrelated gynecological disorders characterized by the aberrant presence of endometrial tissue and are frequently linked with chronic pelvic pain and infertility, yet their pathogenetic mecha...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and a plethora of bioinformatic approaches are used for eDNA-based community compositi...
: The microbiome plays an important role in cancer, but the relationship between dietary habits and the microbiota in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is not clear. The aim of this study is to explore the complex relationship between the mi...
Migration is associated with a substantial change in environmental exposures and health outcomes. We aimed to investigate the shift in gut microbiota composition and the associations with cardiometabolic outcomes in the RODAM-Pros cohort spanning mul...
