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.

Investigating microbial associations from sequencing survey data with co-correspondence analysis

TL;DR: The ability of this approach to highlight the relationships between two microbial communities, using two data sets exhibiting various types of interactions, is shown, and how CoCA can be used, complementary to network analysis, to reorder co‐occurrence networks and thus investigate the presence of patterns in ecological networks.

The microbiome of common bedding materials before and after use on commercial dairy farms

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined both the culturable and non-culturable microbial composition of commonly used bedding materials, i.e., the microbiome, before and after use, to understand whether and how the bedding microbiome acts as a risk factor for mastitis.

Targeting gut dysbiosis against inflammation and impaired autophagy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide evidence that fecal microbiota composition along with circulating levels of short-chain fatty acids and related metabolites are altered in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) compared with healthy controls.

A comparison study of statistical methods for the analysis metagenome data

TL;DR: This work systematically investigates the properties of statistical methods for MWAS and compares their performances using simulation data generated from Human Microbiome Project data, finding metagenomeSeq methods showed higher power than ANCOM in the power comparison study.

The oral microbiome in relation to pancreatic cancer risk in African Americans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the oral microbiome in relation to pancreatic cancer risk among 122 African-American patients and 354 controls and found no associations with alpha or beta diversity, and no individual microbial taxa were differentially abundant between cases and control.

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.

Metagenomic biomarker discovery and explanation

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.
