TLDR
The phyloseq project for R is a new open-source software package dedicated to the object-oriented representation and analysis of microbiome census data in R, which supports importing data from a variety of common formats, as well as many analysis techniques.Abstract:
Background The analysis of microbial communities through DNA sequencing brings many challenges: the integration of different types of data with methods from ecology, genetics, phylogenetics, multivariate statistics, visualization and testing. With the increased breadth of experimental designs now being pursued, project-specific statistical analyses are often needed, and these analyses are often difficult (or impossible) for peer researchers to independently reproduce. The vast majority of the requisite tools for performing these analyses reproducibly are already implemented in R and its extensions (packages), but with limited support for high throughput microbiome census data. Results Here we describe a software project, phyloseq, dedicated to the object-oriented representation and analysis of microbiome census data in R. It supports importing data from a variety of common formats, as well as many analysis techniques. These include calibration, filtering, subsetting, agglomeration, multi-table comparisons, diversity analysis, parallelized Fast UniFrac, ordination methods, and production of publication-quality graphics; all in a manner that is easy to document, share, and modify. We show how to apply functions from other R packages to phyloseq-represented data, illustrating the availability of a large number of open source analysis techniques. We discuss the use of phyloseq with tools for reproducible research, a practice common in other fields but still rare in the analysis of highly parallel microbiome census data. We have made available all of the materials necessary to completely reproduce the analysis and figures included in this article, an example of best practices for reproducible research. Conclusions The phyloseq project for R is a new open-source software package, freely available on the web from both GitHub and Bioconductor.read more

Evolution of the nasopharyngeal microbiota of beef cattle from weaning to 40 days after arrival at a feedlot

TL;DR: The instability of the nasopharyngeal microbiota documented in this study might explain why cattle are most likely to be affected with BRDc during the first weeks after weaning and arrival at a feedlot.

Assessing the utility of metabarcoding for diet analyses of the omnivorous wild pig (Sus scrofa).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the use of blocking primers produces significantly more sequencing reads per sample from diet items, which increases the robustness of ascertaining animal diet composition with molecular tools, and that this approach is suitable for describing differences in diet composition among the locations.

TL;DR: The results provide the first insights into the soil microbiome of mountain summits in the European Alps that are shaped as a result of highly variable local environmental conditions and may help to predict responses of the soil biota to global climate change.

TL;DR: The results expand knowledge of which microbial groups are favored in P-deficient oxisol and suggest that P fertilization significantly impacts the species composition and diversity indices of bacteria and fungi communities, both inside the roots and in the rhizosphere.
