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

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

The race to produce vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) began when the first sequence was published, and this forms the basis for …

Terminating the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic relies upon pan-global vaccination. Current
vaccines elicit neutralizing antibody responses to the virus spike derived from early isolates …

The gut microbiome is shaped through infancy and impacts the maturation of the immune
system, thus protecting against chronic disease later in life. Phages, or viruses that infect …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

The reconstruction of bacterial and archaeal genomes from shotgun metagenomes has
enabled insights into the ecology and evolution of environmental and host-associated …

Abstract The Clusters of Orthologous Genes (COG) database, also referred to as the
Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins, was created in 1997 and went through several …

Even though automated functional annotation of genes represents a fundamental step in
most genomic and metagenomic workflows, it remains challenging at large scales. Here, we …

Antibiotic resistance spreads among bacteria through horizontal transfer of antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs). Here, we set out to determine predictive features of ARG transfer …
