Abstract
We describe improvements for sequencing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) amplicons, a cornerstone technique in metagenomics. Through unique tagging of template molecules before PCR, amplicon sequences can be mapped to their original templates to correct amplification bias and sequencing error with software we provide. PCR clamps block amplification of contaminating sequences from a eukaryotic host, thereby substantially enriching microbial sequences without introducing bias.

Salicylic acid modulates colonization of the root microbiome by specific bacterial taxa

TL;DR: It is established that biosynthesis of, and signaling dependent on, the foliar defense phytohormone salicylic acid is required to assemble a normal root microbiome, and selection from the available microbial communities to sculpt the root microbiome.

Host genotype and age shape the leaf and root microbiomes of a wild perennial plant

TL;DR: This large-scale field experiment disentangle the effects of genotype, environment, age and year of harvest on bacterial communities associated with leaves and roots of Boechera stricta (Brassicaceae), a perennial wild mustard to demonstrate how genotype-by-environment interactions contribute to the complexity of microbiome assembly in natural environments.

Assembly and ecological function of the root microbiome across angiosperm plant species.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that variation among 30 angiosperm species, which have diverged for up to 140 million years, affects root bacterial diversity and composition and the causes of variation in root microbiomes are emphasized.

FLASH: Fast Length Adjustment of Short Reads to Improve Genome Assemblies

TL;DR: FLASH is a fast computational tool to extend the length of short reads by overlapping paired-end reads from fragment libraries that are sufficiently short and when FLASH was used to extend reads prior to assembly, the resulting assemblies had substantially greater N50 lengths for both contigs and scaffolds.
