Enabling high-accuracy long-read amplicon sequences using unique molecular identifiers with Nanopore or PacBio sequencing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report a high-throughput amplicon sequencing approach combining unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) with Oxford Nanopore Technologies or Pacific Biosciences CCS sequencing, yielding high accuracy single-molecule consensus sequences of large genomic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replenishing our defensive microbes.

TL;DR: Beneficial microbes associated with pathogen resistance are reviewed, highlighting the emerging role of complex microbial communities in protecting against disease and prospects for reintroducing or encouraging the growth of beneficial microbes to promote the restoration of healthy microbial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiome in serious mental illnesses: A systematic review and critical evaluation

TL;DR: This systematic review evaluates the most recent evidence of the gut microbiome in clinical populations with serious mental illness (SMI) and critically evaluates the current data, including experimental approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

BayesFold: Rational 2° folds that combine thermodynamic, covariation, and chemical data for aligned RNA sequences

TL;DR: On a gapped alignment of 86 tRNA Phe sequences each 77 bases long, BayesFold takes 31 sec to perform the calculations; the best structure contained 95% of the base pairs in the true structure, and thetrue structure was ranked second.
