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.

Functional overlap of the Arabidopsis leaf and root microbiota

TL;DR: It is shown that the isolates form assemblies resembling natural microbiota on their cognate host organs, but are also capable of ectopic leaf or root colonization, which raises the possibility of reciprocal relocation between root and leaf microbiota members.

Using MicrobiomeAnalyst for comprehensive statistical, functional, and meta-analysis of microbiome data.

TL;DR: This protocol details MicrobiomeAnalyst, a user-friendly, web-based platform for comprehensive statistical, functional, and meta-analysis of microbiome data, a one-stop shop that enables microbiome researchers to thoroughly explore their preprocessed microbiome data via intuitive web interfaces.

Microbial Reconstitution Reverses Maternal Diet-Induced Social and Synaptic Deficits in Offspring

TL;DR: It is reported that maternal high-fat diet induces a shift in microbial ecology that negatively impacts offspring social behavior, and a single commensal strain is identified that corrects oxytocin levels, LTP, and social deficits in MHFD offspring.

Chemically induced mouse models of acute and chronic intestinal inflammation

TL;DR: This protocol update describes an adaptation of the existing protocol that modifies the technique that has been used to generate improved mouse models that better reflect the nature of IBDs in humans.

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.
