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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elizabeth A. Dinsdale,Robert Edwards,Dana Hall,Florent E. Angly,Mya Breitbart,Jennifer M. Brulc,Mike Furlan,Christelle Desnues,Matthew Haynes,Linlin Li,Lauren D. McDaniel,Mary Ann Moran,Karen E. Nelson,Christina Nilsson,Robert Olson,John H. Paul,Beltran Rodriguez Brito,Yijun Ruan,Brandon K. Swan,Rick Stevens,David L. Valentine,Rebecca Vega Thurber,Linda Wegley,Bryan A. White,Forest Rohwer +24 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of the microbial metabolic capabilities encoded by the viromes was extensive, suggesting that they serve as a repository for storing and sharing genes among their microbial hosts and influence global evolutionary and metabolic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic analysis of stressed coral holobionts
Rebecca Vega Thurber,Dana Willner-Hall,Beltran Rodriguez-Mueller,Christelle Desnues,Robert Edwards,Florent E. Angly,Elizabeth A. Dinsdale,Linda Wegley Kelly,Forest Rohwer +8 more
TL;DR: Structural and functional changes in coral microbial communities were evaluated and low-abundance Vibrio spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viruses manipulate the marine environment
TL;DR: A series of recent studies has shown that viruses have the ability to manipulate the life histories and evolution of their hosts in remarkable ways, challenging the understanding of this almost invisible world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Procedures to Generate Viral Metagenomes
TL;DR: This collection of laboratory protocols describes the steps to collect viruses from various samples with the specific aim of generating viral metagenome sequence libraries (viromes) using several concentration, purification, extraction, sequencing and heuristic bioinformatic methods.
