TL;DR: The results demonstrate that phylogeny and function are sufficiently linked that this 'predictive metagenomic' approach should provide useful insights into the thousands of uncultivated microbial communities for which only marker gene surveys are currently available.
Abstract: Profiling phylogenetic marker genes, such as the 16S rRNA gene, is a key tool for studies of microbial communities but does not provide direct evidence of a community's functional capabilities. Here we describe PICRUSt (phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states), a computational approach to predict the functional composition of a metagenome using marker gene data and a database of reference genomes. PICRUSt uses an extended ancestral-state reconstruction algorithm to predict which gene families are present and then combines gene families to estimate the composite metagenome. Using 16S information, PICRUSt recaptures key findings from the Human Microbiome Project and accurately predicts the abundance of gene families in host-associated and environmental communities, with quantifiable uncertainty. Our results demonstrate that phylogeny and function are sufficiently linked that this 'predictive metagenomic' approach should provide useful insights into the thousands of uncultivated microbial communities for which only marker gene surveys are currently available.

TL;DR: The PICRUSt2 algorithm includes steps that optimize genome prediction, including placing sequences into a reference phylogeny rather than relying on predictions limited to reference OTUs, and basing predictions on a larger database of reference genomes and gene families, and enabling predictions of complex phenotypes and integration of custom databases.
Abstract: To the Editor — One limitation of microbial community marker-gene sequencing is that it does not provide information about the functional composition of sampled communities. PICRUSt1 was developed in 2013 to predict the functional potential of a bacterial community on the basis of marker gene sequencing profiles, and now we present PICRUSt2 (https://github. com/picrust/picrust2), which improves on the original method. Specifically, PICRUSt2 contains an updated and larger database of gene families and reference genomes, provides interoperability with any operational taxonomic unit (OTU)-picking or denoising algorithm, and enables phenotype predictions. Benchmarking shows that PICRUSt2 is more accurate than PICRUSt and other competing methods overall. PICRUSt2 also allows the addition of custom reference databases. We highlight these improvements and also important caveats regarding the use of predicted metagenomes. The most common method for profiling bacterial communities is to sequence the conserved 16S rRNA gene. Functional profiles cannot be directly identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence data owing to strain variation, so several methods have been developed to predict microbial community functions from taxonomic profiles (amplicon sequences) alone1–5. Shotgun metagenomics sequencing (MGS), which sequences entire genomes rather than marker genes, can also be used to characterize the functions of a community, but does not work well if there is host contamination — for example, in a biopsy — or if there is very little community biomass. PICRUSt (hereafter “PICRUSt1”) was developed for prediction of functions from 16S marker sequences, and it is widely used but has some limitations. Standard PICRUSt1 workflows require input sequences to be OTUs generated from closed-reference OTU-picking against a compatible version of the Greengenes database6. Due to this restriction to reference OTUs, the default PICRUSt1 workflow is incompatible with sequence denoising methods, which produce amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) rather than OTUs. ASVs have finer resolution, allowing closely related organisms to be more readily distinguished. Furthermore, the bacterial reference databases used by PICRUSt1 have not been updated since 2013 and lack thousands of recently added gene families. We expected that optimizing genome prediction would improve accuracy of functional predictions. Therefore, the PICRUSt2 algorithm (Fig. 1a) includes steps that optimize genome prediction, including placing sequences into a reference phylogeny rather than relying on predictions limited to reference OTUs (Fig. 1b); basing predictions on a larger database of reference genomes and gene families (Fig. 1c); more stringently predicting pathway abundance (Supplementary Fig. 1); and enabling predictions of complex phenotypes and integration of custom databases. PICRUSt2 integrates existing open-source tools to predict genomes of environmentally sampled 16S rRNA gene sequences. ASVs are placed into a reference tree, which is used as the basis of functional predictions. 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000

TL;DR: The results suggest that N fertilization may, directly or indirectly, induce a shift in the predominant microbial life-history strategies, favoring a more active, copiotrophic microbial community, a pattern that parallels the often observed replacement of K-selected with r-selected plant species with elevated N.
Abstract: Terrestrial ecosystems are receiving elevated inputs of nitrogen (N) from anthropogenic sources and understanding how these increases in N availability affect soil microbial communities is critical for predicting the associated effects on belowground ecosystems. We used a suite of approaches to analyze the structure and functional characteristics of soil microbial communities from replicated plots in two long-term N fertilization experiments located in contrasting systems. Pyrosequencing-based analyses of 16S rRNA genes revealed no significant effects of N fertilization on bacterial diversity, but significant effects on community composition at both sites; copiotrophic taxa (including members of the Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes phyla) typically increased in relative abundance in the high N plots, with oligotrophic taxa (mainly Acidobacteria) exhibiting the opposite pattern. Consistent with the phylogenetic shifts under N fertilization, shotgun metagenomic sequencing revealed increases in the relative abundances of genes associated with DNA/RNA replication, electron transport and protein metabolism, increases that could be resolved even with the shallow shotgun metagenomic sequencing conducted here (average of 75 000 reads per sample). We also observed shifts in the catabolic capabilities of the communities across the N gradients that were significantly correlated with the phylogenetic and metagenomic responses, indicating possible linkages between the structure and functioning of soil microbial communities. Overall, our results suggest that N fertilization may, directly or indirectly, induce a shift in the predominant microbial life-history strategies, favoring a more active, copiotrophic microbial community, a pattern that parallels the often observed replacement of K-selected with r-selected plant species with elevated N.

TL;DR: The extensively curated SILVA taxonomy and the new non-redundant SILVA datasets provide an ideal reference for high-throughput classification of data from next-generation sequencing approaches.
Abstract: SILVA (from Latin silva, forest, http://www.arb-silva.de) is a comprehensive web resource for up to date, quality-controlled databases of aligned ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences from the Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota domains and supplementary online services. The referred database release 111 (July 2012) contains 3 194 778 small subunit and 288 717 large subunit rRNA gene sequences. Since the initial description of the project, substantial new features have been introduced, including advanced quality control procedures, an improved rRNA gene aligner, online tools for probe and primer evaluation and optimized browsing, searching and downloading on the website. Furthermore, the extensively curated SILVA taxonomy and the new non-redundant SILVA datasets provide an ideal reference for high-throughput classification of data from next-generation sequencing approaches.

TL;DR: The open-source software package DADA2 for modeling and correcting Illumina-sequenced amplicon errors is presented, revealing a diversity of previously undetected Lactobacillus crispatus variants.
Abstract: We present the open-source software package DADA2 for modeling and correcting Illumina-sequenced amplicon errors (https://github.com/benjjneb/dada2). DADA2 infers sample sequences exactly and resolves differences of as little as 1 nucleotide. In several mock communities, DADA2 identified more real variants and output fewer spurious sequences than other methods. We applied DADA2 to vaginal samples from a cohort of pregnant women, revealing a diversity of previously undetected Lactobacillus crispatus variants.

TL;DR: The UPARSE pipeline reports operational taxonomic unit (OTU) sequences with ≤1% incorrect bases in artificial microbial community tests, compared with >3% correct bases commonly reported by other methods.
Abstract: Amplified marker-gene sequences can be used to understand microbial community structure, but they suffer from a high level of sequencing and amplification artifacts. The UPARSE pipeline reports operational taxonomic unit (OTU) sequences with ≤1% incorrect bases in artificial microbial community tests, compared with >3% incorrect bases commonly reported by other methods. The improved accuracy results in far fewer OTUs, consistently closer to the expected number of species in a community.

TL;DR: The phyloseq project for R is a new open-source software package dedicated to the object-oriented representation and analysis of microbiome census data in R, which supports importing data from a variety of common formats, as well as many analysis techniques.
Abstract: Background The analysis of microbial communities through DNA sequencing brings many challenges: the integration of different types of data with methods from ecology, genetics, phylogenetics, multivariate statistics, visualization and testing. With the increased breadth of experimental designs now being pursued, project-specific statistical analyses are often needed, and these analyses are often difficult (or impossible) for peer researchers to independently reproduce. The vast majority of the requisite tools for performing these analyses reproducibly are already implemented in R and its extensions (packages), but with limited support for high throughput microbiome census data. Results Here we describe a software project, phyloseq, dedicated to the object-oriented representation and analysis of microbiome census data in R. It supports importing data from a variety of common formats, as well as many analysis techniques. These include calibration, filtering, subsetting, agglomeration, multi-table comparisons, diversity analysis, parallelized Fast UniFrac, ordination methods, and production of publication-quality graphics; all in a manner that is easy to document, share, and modify. We show how to apply functions from other R packages to phyloseq-represented data, illustrating the availability of a large number of open source analysis techniques. We discuss the use of phyloseq with tools for reproducible research, a practice common in other fields but still rare in the analysis of highly parallel microbiome census data. We have made available all of the materials necessary to completely reproduce the analysis and figures included in this article, an example of best practices for reproducible research. Conclusions The phyloseq project for R is a new open-source software package, freely available on the web from both GitHub and Bioconductor.

TL;DR: SPAdes as mentioned in this paper is a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data).
Abstract: The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell genomics is to complement gene-centric metagenomic data with whole-genome assemblies of uncultivated organisms. Assembly of single-cell data is challenging because of highly non-uniform read coverage as well as elevated levels of sequencing errors and chimeric reads. We describe SPAdes, a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler (specialized for single-cell data) and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data). SPAdes generates single-cell assemblies, providing information about genomes of uncultivatable bacteria that vastly exceeds what may be obtained via traditional metagenomics studies. SPAdes is available online ( http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades ). It is distributed as open source software.
