"Hidden" associations between the human virome and human health and diseaseHuman-resident microbes can influence both health and disease. Investigating the microbiome using next-generation sequencing(*1) technology has revealed examples...

A new collaborative study published by a research team from the Wayne State University School of Medicine, the CReATe Fertility Centre and the University of Massachusetts Amherst provides the first in-depth look at the microbiome of human...

For the last 40 years, “Sanger sequencing” allowed to unveil crucial secrets of life. However, this method of sequencing has been time-consuming, laborious and remains expensive even today. Human...

Metagenomics is a rapidly emerging field aimed to analyze microbial diversity and dynamics by studying the genomic content of the microbiota. Metataxonomics tools analyze high-throughput sequencing data, primarily from 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNAseq, to identify microorganisms and viruses ...

Although metatranscriptomics-the study of diverse microbial population activity based on RNA-seq data-is rapidly growing in popularity, there are limited options for biologists to analyze this type of data. Current approaches for processing metatranscriptomes rely on restricted databases and a dedicated ...

An increasing body of evidence suggests an important role of the human microbiome in health and disease. Researchers at UCLA have developed a ‘lost and found’ pipeline, which examines high quality unmapped sequence reads for microbial taxonomic classification. Using this ...

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Duties/Responsibilities: The University of Minnesota Informatics Institute (UMII) and University of Minnesota Genomics Center (UMGC) seek a skilled, Ph.D.-level analyst to serve as both internal NGS analyst and client-facing NGS consultant. The UMGC is the ...

Experimental designs that take advantage of high-throughput sequencing to generate datasets include RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments, metagenomic analysis and selective growth experiments. In each case the underlying data are similar and ...
