Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a neglected,
debilitating multi-systemic disease without diagnostic marker or therapy. Despite evidence …

Background Sequencing variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene (≃ 300 bp) with Illumina
technology is commonly used to study the composition of human microbiota. Unfortunately …

Since its introduction, nanopore sequencing has enhanced our ability to study complex
microbial samples through the possibility to sequence long reads in real time using …

The gut microbiome, often referred to as" super organ", comprises up to a hundred trillion
microorganisms, and the species diversity may vary from person to person. They perform a …

The gut microbiota is a rich and dynamic ecosystem that actively interacts with the human
body, playing a significant role in the state of health and disease of the host. Diet, exercise …

Bacterial pathogens are one of the major threats to biosafety and environmental health, and
advanced assessment is a prerequisite to combating bacterial pathogens. Currently, 16S …

Nanopore sequencing is a promising technology used for 16S rRNA gene amplicon
sequencing as it can provide full-length 16S reads and has a low up-front cost that allows …

Since the exploration of sequencing began in 2005, third and next-generation sequencing
(TGS and NGS) technologies have fundamentally changed metagenomics research. These …

Gut bacteria are linked to neurodegenerative diseases but the risk factors beyond microbiota
composition are limited. Here we used a pre-clinical model of multiple sclerosis (MS) …
