DADA2: High-resolution sample inference from Illumina amplicon data

TLDR
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.

Decoding Wheat Endosphere–Rhizosphere Microbiomes in Rhizoctonia solani–Infested Soils Challenged by Streptomyces Biocontrol Agents

TL;DR: It may be possible to reduce and limit the effects of serious fungal infestations by promoting a beneficial microbiome through the application of biocontrol agents during different periods of plant development.

Maturation of the infant rhesus macaque gut microbiome and its role in the development of diarrheal disease.

TL;DR: The composition of the microbial community could provide a phenotypic marker of an infant’s susceptibility to diarrheal disease, and these findings provide potential markers of susceptibility to diarrhea that could be modulated to improve infant health, especially in the developing world.

Making the Most of Trait-Based Approaches for Microbial Ecology.

TL;DR: This work uses case studies from macro-organismal ecology to concretely show how these goals for knowledge development can be fulfilled and propose clear directions, adapted to the biological reality of microbes, to make the most of recent advancements in the measurement of microbial phenotypes and traits.

Diversity of gut microbiomes in marine fishes is shaped by host‐related factors

TL;DR: Investigations on the co‐evolution of fish gut microbiomes and their hosts, the physiological functions of gut microorganisms and the development of probiotics for improving the nutrition and health of aquaculture fish species are paved the way.

Complementing 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing with Total Bacterial Load To Infer Absolute Species Concentrations in the Vaginal Microbiome.

TL;DR: Inferred concentrations are reliable proxies for targeted qPCR in the vaginal microbiome when the relative abundance of a species is >10%, and are a reasonable proxy of species-specificqPCR values, particularly when bacteria are present at a higher relative abundance.

UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection

TL;DR: UCHIME has better sensitivity than ChimeraSlayer (previously the most sensitive database method), especially with short, noisy sequences, and in testing on artificial bacterial communities with known composition, UCHIME de novo sensitivity is shown to be comparable to Perseus.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +253 more
- 14 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project Consortium reported the first results of their analysis of microbial communities from distinct, clinically relevant body habitats in a human cohort; the insights into the microbial communities of a healthy population lay foundations for future exploration of the epidemiology, ecology and translational applications of the human microbiome as discussed by the authors.
