TLDR

SortMeRNA, a new software designed to rapidly filter rRNA fragments from metatranscriptomic data, is presented, capable of handling large sets of reads and sorting out all fragments matching to the rRNA database with high sensitivity and low running time.

Abstract:

MOTIVATION: The application of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies to RNAs directly extracted from a community of organisms yields a mixture of fragments characterizing both coding and non-coding types of RNAs. The tasks to distinguish among these and to further categorize the families of messenger RNAs and ribosomal RNAs is an important step for examining gene expression patterns of an interactive environment and the phylogenetic classification of the constituting species. RESULTS: We present SortMeRNA, a new software designed to rapidly filter ribosomal RNA fragments from metatranscriptomic data. It is capable of handling large sets of reads and sorting out all fragments matching to the rRNA database with high sensitivity and low running time.

Localisation and origin of the bacteriochlorophyll-derived photosensitizer in the retina of the deep-sea dragon fish Malacosteus niger

Scientific Reports

TL;DR: Instead up-regulated Malacosteus genes were associated with photosensitivity and may relate to its unique visual ecology and the chlorophyll-based visual system, and it is suggested that the unusual longwave-reflecting, astaxanthin-based, tapetum of Malacosta may protect the retina from the potential cytotoxicity of such a system.

Community and genomic analysis of the human small intestine microbiota

B. van den Bogert

TL;DR: The pyrosequencing technology was used as the method of choice to study the total and active small intestinal communities in ileostoma effluent samples from four different subjects, indicating that the dominant bacteria in the small intestine are also highly active in this ecosystem.

Enhancer transcription detected in the nascent transcriptomic landscape of bread wheat

Genome Biology

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors detect active transcription of enhancers from the complex bread wheat genome by nascent RNA sequencing combined with epigenome profiling, and find that genes associated with transcriptional enhancers are expressed at significantly higher levels, and enhancer RNA is more precise and robust in predicting enhancer activity compared to chromatin features.
