QIIME allows analysis of high-throughput community sequencing data

UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection

Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...

SciPy 1.0: fundamental algorithms for scientific computing in Python.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this...

Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment: RNA Ligands to Bacteriophage T4 DNA Polymerase

High-affinity nucleic acid ligands for a protein were isolated by a procedure that depends on alternate cycles of ligand selection from pools of variant sequences and amplificat...

Global patterns of 16S rRNA diversity at a depth of millions of sequences per sample

The ongoing revolution in high-throughput sequencing continues to democratize the ability of small groups of investigators to map the microbial component of the biosphere. In pa...

Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences

UniFrac: a New Phylogenetic Method for Comparing Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT We introduce here a new method for computing differences between microbial communities based on phylogenetic information. This method, UniFrac, measures the phylogeneti...

Review of Particle Physics

The <em>Review</em> summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,873 new measurements from 758 papers, we list, evalu...

Linking Long-Term Dietary Patterns with Gut Microbial Enterotypes

The basic composition of the human gut microbiome is influenced by long-term diet: high fat and protein versus high fiber.
