Various fields have been identified in the “omics” era, such as genomics, proteomics,
transcriptomics, metabolomics, phenomics, and metagenomics. Among these …

Skin acts as a barrier that promotes the colonization of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses
whose membership and function may differ depending on the various specialized niches or …

Despite advances in sequencing, lack of standardization makes comparisons across studies
challenging and hampers insights into the structure and function of microbial communities …

Host–microbe interactions have been linked to health and disease states through the use of
microbial taxonomic profiling, mostly via 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. However …

The microbial communities present within fermented foods are diverse and dynamic,
producing a variety of metabolites responsible for the fermentation processes, imparting …

The gut microbiome is a complex, unique entity implicated in the prevention, pathogenesis,
and progression of common gastrointestinal diseases. While largely dominated by bacterial …

Large-scale studies are essential to answer questions about complex microbial communities
that can be extremely dynamic across hosts, environments, and time points. However …

Background Metagenomic data can be used to profile high-importance genes within
microbiomes. However, current metagenomic workflows produce data that suffer from low …

The lack of standardized methods and large differences in virus concentration and extraction
workflows have hampered Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) wastewater …

The biogeography of eukaryotes in drinking water systems is poorly understood relative to
that of prokaryotes or viruses, limiting the understanding of their role and management. A …
