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

Testing hypotheses about the microbiome using an ordination-based linear decomposition model
Yi-Juan Hu,Glen A. Satten +1 more
TL;DR: The linear decomposition model (LDM) is presented, a method that integrates global testing of any microbiome effect and detection of differentially abundant OTUs and is generally more powerful than existing methods, and is capable of handling the confounders and correlated data that frequently occur in modern microbiome studies.

A reasonable correlation between cloacal and cecal microbiomes in broiler chickens.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sampling cloaca shows promise as a method to estimate cecal microbiota, and especially abundant taxa, from live broiler poultry in a manner which reduces cost and increases welfare for husbandry and research purposes.

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.
