The landscape of metagenomics and microbiome research is evolving at breakneck speed. As sequencing technologies improve and ...

David J. Wilson, Jacqueline P. Kurz, Genetic sequencing using 16S rRNA for pathogen identification in retropharyngeal lymph nodes from wild elk, Human-Wildlife Interactions, Vol. 11, No. 1 (Spring ...

PCR™ revolutionizes metagenomics with bias-free, adaptive PCR, enabling deeper microbiome insights, higher accuracy, and ...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a high-prevalence disease that threatens human survival and quality of life worldwide. Considerable evidence has suggested that periodontitis (PD) is ...

A commonly used phylogenetic marker in metagenomics is the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. ¬ is ubiquitous locus is comprised of highly conserved regions flanking nine hyper-variable regions, referred ...

Sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons is the gold standard to uncover the composition of prokaryotic communities. The presence of multiple copies of this gene makes the community abundance data distorted ...

Study reveals machine learning tools for bacterial vaginosis diagnosis show reduced accuracy in Black women, stressing the ...

Standard diagnostics techniques, such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and 16s rRNA sequencing, could not distinguish between the species, leading the researchers to use a different method for ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects an estimated 1 in 31 children in the United States by 2025, and prevalence in East ...

Additionally, functional predictions based on 16S rRNA sequencing lack direct metabolite validation and cannot fully reflect microbial functional activity, necessitating future studies ...
