Analyzing the microbiome of diverse species and environments using next-generation
sequencing techniques has significantly enhanced our understanding on metabolic …

Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

Metagenomic assembly enables new organism discovery from microbial communities, but it
can only capture few abundant organisms from most metagenomes. Here we present …

The data output from microbiome research is growing at an accelerating rate, yet mining the
data quickly and efficiently remains difficult. There is still a lack of an effective data structure …

Emerging evidence suggests that modulation of gut microbiota by dietary fibre may offer
solutions for metabolic disorders. In a randomized placebo-controlled crossover design trial …
