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

TL;DR: Propagules of more specialised below-ground fungi, such as mycorrhiza that form specialised root associations benefitting plant health, can also be found in surrounding soils.

Modulation of high fat diet-induced microbiome changes, but not behaviour, by minocycline

TL;DR: It was shown that chronic high fat diet feeding led to changes in both behaviour and the gut microbiome in male mice, without an overt inflammatory response, and minocycline did not reverse highFat diet-induced changes in behaviour.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate that the inclusion of tylosin and antibiotic alternatives (the essential oil limonene and Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product) had little impact on LA microbial community composition.

Dirichlet-multinomial modelling outperforms alternatives for analysis of microbiome and other ecological count data
TL;DR: DMM identified several potentially pathogenic, bacterial taxa as more abundant in the lungs of children who aspirated foreign material during swallowing and provided the most accurate estimates of relative abundances, and VI was the most computationally efficient.

Longitudinal Study of the Bulk Tank Milk Microbiota Reveals Major Temporal Shifts in Composition
Davide Porcellato,Marit Smistad,Alberto Bombelli,Ahmed Abdelghani,Hannah J. Jørgensen,Siv Borghild Skeie +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a double experiment to study long-and short-term longitudinal shifts in microbial composition using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and found that a persistent and farm-specific microbiota is found in bulk tank milk and that changes in composition within the same farm are mostly driven by bacterial genera associated with mastitis (e.g., Staphylococcus and Streptococcus).

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.
