Metagenomics is a technology employed to study genetic material directly isolated from
environmental samples. Metagenomics thus reveals knowledge on microbial communities of …

In the constructed habitat in which we spend up to 90% of our time, architectural design
influences occupants' behavioral patterns, interactions with objects, surfaces, rituals, the …

Despite having key functions in terrestrial ecosystems, information on the dominant soil fungi
and their ecological preferences at the global scale is lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, we …

Background Metagenomic shotgun sequencing has the potential to change how many
infections, particularly those caused by difficult-to-culture organisms, are diagnosed …

Biodiversity is in decline due to human‐induced pressures on ecosystems around the world.
To be able to counteract this alarming trend, it is paramount to closely monitor biodiversity at …

The panoply of microorganisms and other species present in our environment influence
human health and disease, especially in cities, but have not been profiled with …

Increasing evidence suggests that degradation of biodiversity in human populated areas is a
threat for the ecosystem processes that are relevant for human well-being. Fungi are a …

Abstract Background Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) research is an emerging field
that focuses on the detection of species from their genetic remnants in the air. The majority of …

Recent metagenomic studies of environments, such as marine and soil, have significantly
enhanced our understanding of the diverse microbial communities living in these habitats …

Clouds constitute the uppermost layer of the biosphere. They host diverse communities
whose functioning remains obscure, although biological activity potentially participates to …
