Lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic include increased awareness of the potential
for zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases that can adversely affect human health …

Fast detection and identification of microorganisms is a challenging and significant feature
from industry to medicine. Standard approaches are known to be very time-consuming and …

Nucleotide sequence and taxonomy reference databases are critical resources for
widespread applications including marker-gene and metagenome sequencing for …

In this paper we compared taxonomic results obtained by metataxonomics (16S rRNA gene
sequencing) and metagenomics (whole shotgun metagenomic sequencing) to investigate …

Current-day metagenomics analyses increasingly involve de novo taxonomic classification
of long DNA sequences and metagenome-assembled genomes. Here, we show that the …

Metagenomics is a new approach to study microorganisms obtained from a specific
environment by functional gene screening or sequencing analysis. Metagenomics studies …

False-positive identifications are a significant problem in metagenomics classification. We
present KrakenUniq, a novel metagenomics classifier that combines the fast k-mer-based …

Metagenomics and marker gene approaches, coupled with high-throughput sequencing
technologies, have revolutionized the field of microbial ecology. Metagenomics is a culture …

Metagenomic experiments expose the wide range of microscopic organisms in any
microbial environment through high-throughput DNA sequencing. The computational …

Background Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has changed the diagnosis
landscape of lower respiratory tract infections (LRIs). With the development of newer …
