TL;DR: This work identifies ocean microbial core functionality and reveals that >73% of its abundance is shared with the human gut microbiome despite the physicochemical differences between these two ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that environmental factors are incomplete predictors of community structure and associations across plankton functional types and phylogenetic groups to be nonrandomly distributed on the network and driven by both local and global patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic 16S rDNA Illumina tags are a powerful alternative to amplicon sequencing to explore diversity and structure of microbial communities
Ramiro Logares,Shinichi Sunagawa,Guillem Salazar,Francisco M. Cornejo-Castillo,Isabel Ferrera,Hugo Sarmento,Hugo Sarmento,Pascal Hingamp,Hiroyuki Ogata,Hiroyuki Ogata,Colomban de Vargas,Gipsi Lima-Mendez,Jeroen Raes,Julie Poulain,Olivier Jaillon,Olivier Jaillon,Olivier Jaillon,Patrick Wincker,Patrick Wincker,Patrick Wincker,Stefanie Kandels-Lewis,Eric Karsenti,Peer Bork,Silvia G. Acinas +23 more
TL;DR: It is shown that by overcoming PCR biases related to amplification and primer mismatch, mi tags may provide more realistic estimates of community richness and evenness than amplicon 454 tags, and is now economically feasible given the dramatic reduction in high-throughput sequencing costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes
Pascal Hingamp,Nigel Grimsley,Silvia G. Acinas,Camille Clerissi,Lucie Subirana,Julie Poulain,Isabel Ferrera,Isabel Ferrera,Hugo Sarmento,Emilie Villar,Gipsi Lima-Mendez,Karoline Faust,Shinichi Sunagawa,Jean-Michel Claverie,Hervé Moreau,Yves Desdevises,Peer Bork,Jeroen Raes,Colomban de Vargas,Eric Karsenti,Stefanie Kandels-Lewis,Olivier Jaillon,Fabrice Not,Stephane Pesant,Patrick Wincker,Hiroyuki Ogata,Hiroyuki Ogata +26 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that marine NCLDVs probably outnumber eukaryotic organisms in the photic layer (per given water mass) and that metagenomic sequence analyses promise to shed new light on the biodiversity of marine viruses and their interactions with potential hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
