A highly abundant bacteriophage discovered in the unknown sequences of human faecal metagenomes

TL;DR: The discovery of a previously unidentified bacteriophage present in the majority of published human faecal metagenomes, which is referred to as crAssphage and predicted to have a Bacteroides host for this phage, consistent with Bactseroides-related protein homologues and a unique carbohydrate-binding domain encoded in the phage genome.

Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation - A benchmark of metagenomics software

Alexander Sczyrba, +75 more
- 02 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: The Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI) challenge has engaged the global developer community to benchmark their programs on highly complex and realistic data sets, generated from ∼700 newly sequenced microorganisms and ∼600 novel viruses and plasmids and representing common experimental setups as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

SUPER-FOCUS: a tool for agile functional analysis of shotgun metagenomic data

TL;DR: SUPERFOCUS is introduced, an agile homology-based approach using a reduced reference database to report the subsystems present in metagenomic datasets and profile their abundances, and is up to 1000 times faster than other tools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metagenomic Analysis of Healthy and White Plague-Affected Mussismilia braziliensis Corals

TL;DR: The results suggest that WP disease in M. braziliensis is caused by a polymicrobial consortium, and Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria and Actinomycetes are the main groups in all healthy and WP-affected corals.
