TLDR
The UPARSE pipeline reports operational taxonomic unit (OTU) sequences with ≤1% incorrect bases in artificial microbial community tests, compared with >3% correct bases commonly reported by other methods.
Abstract
Amplified marker-gene sequences can be used to understand microbial community structure, but they suffer from a high level of sequencing and amplification artifacts. The UPARSE pipeline reports operational taxonomic unit (OTU) sequences with ≤1% incorrect bases in artificial microbial community tests, compared with >3% incorrect bases commonly reported by other methods. The improved accuracy results in far fewer OTUs, consistently closer to the expected number of species in a community.

Non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs mediate dinitrogen fixation in biological soil crusts during early crust formation.

TL;DR: DNA stable isotope probing with15N2 revealed that Clostridiaceae and Proteobacteria are the most common microorganisms that assimilate 15N2 in early successional crusts and this suggests that microorganisms other than cyanobacteria mediate N2-fixation during the critical early stages of BSC development.

Effects of brewer's yeast hydrolysate on the growth performance and the intestinal bacterial diversity of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

TL;DR: The overall intestinal bacterial diversity was decreased in fish fed with BYH which might promote the growth of some probiotics and inhibit some pathogenic bacteria, suggesting that BYH may serve as feed additive in modulation of the gut bacterial community of largemouth bass to decrease the potential pathogens.

Fertilizer N application rate impacts plant-soil feedback in a sanqi production system

TL;DR: Over-application of nitrogen is not beneficial for disease management or the reduction of fungicide application in agricultural production, and it is suggested that over-application in the form of a high rate of N at 450kgNha-1 (450N) aggravated the NPSF.

Search and clustering orders of magnitude faster than BLAST

Robert C. Edgar
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: UCLUST is a new clustering method that exploits USEARCH to assign sequences to clusters and offers several advantages over the widely used program CD-HIT, including higher speed, lower memory use, improved sensitivity, clustering at lower identities and classification of much larger datasets.

UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection

TL;DR: UCHIME has better sensitivity than ChimeraSlayer (previously the most sensitive database method), especially with short, noisy sequences, and in testing on artificial bacterial communities with known composition, UCHIME de novo sensitivity is shown to be comparable to Perseus.

Database resources of the National Center for Biotechnology Information

TL;DR: In addition to maintaining the GenBank(R) nucleic acid sequence database, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides data analysis and retrieval resources for the data in GenBank and other biological data made available through NCBI’s website.
