Differential abundance analysis for microbial marker-gene surveys
TLDR
It is shown that metagenomeSeq outperforms the tools currently used in this field and relies on a novel normalization technique and a statistical model that accounts for undersampling in large-scale marker-gene studies.Abstract:
We introduce a methodology to assess differential abundance in sparse high-throughput microbial marker-gene survey data. Our approach, implemented in the metagenomeSeq Bioconductor package, relies on a novel normalization technique and a statistical model that accounts for undersampling-a common feature of large-scale marker-gene studies. Using simulated data and several published microbiota data sets, we show that metagenomeSeq outperforms the tools currently used in this field.read more

Long-term maize-Desmodium intercropping shifts structure and composition of soil microbiome with stronger impact on fungal communities

TL;DR: The soil microbiome associated with maize—Desmodium intercropping in push–pull farming in comparison to long-term maize monoculture caused a strong divergence in the fungal microbiome, which was more diverse and species rich than monocculture plots.

TL;DR: A temporal association between bile acid (BA) metabolites and inflammatory markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from clinically stable children with CF is demonstrated and analysis of the time series data suggests that the continuous detection of BAs in BALF is linked to differential ecological succession trajectories of the lung microbiota.

Exploratory metagenomic analyses of periweaning failure-to-thrive syndrome-affected pigs.
TL;DR: This is the first molecular characterisation of PPV6 and BoPV2 in Spain and one of the few all around the world, supporting their apparent widespread circulation and open the door for further studies on the potential role of these viruses or their combination as predisposing factor for PFTS occurrence.

Mouse vendor influence on the bacterial and viral gut composition exceeds the effect of diet

TL;DR: The vendor effect is substantial on not only the gut bacterial community, but also strongly influences viral community composition, which is essential to consider, for increasing reproducibility of mouse studies.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.
TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.

Naïve Bayesian Classifier for Rapid Assignment of rRNA Sequences into the New Bacterial Taxonomy
TL;DR: The RDP Classifier can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new higher-order taxonomy proposed in Bergey's Taxonomic Outline of the Prokaryotes, and the majority of the classification errors appear to be due to anomalies in the current taxonomies.

TL;DR: A new method for metagenomic biomarker discovery is described and validates by way of class comparison, tests of biological consistency and effect size estimation to address the challenge of finding organisms, genes, or pathways that consistently explain the differences between two or more microbial communities.
