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.

Comparative analysis of gut microbiota of mosquito communities in central Illinois.

TL;DR: These findings expand the range of mosquito species whose gut microbiota has been characterized and sets the foundation for further studies to determine the influence of these microbiota on vector susceptibility to pathogens.

Metagenomic sequencing reveals the relationship between microbiota composition and quality of Chinese Rice Wine.

TL;DR: Bioinformatic analyses demonstrated that the quality of yeast starter and final wine correlated with microbial taxonomic composition, which was exemplified by the finding that wine spoilage resulted from a high proportion of genus Lactobacillus.

Feedstock determines biochar-induced soil priming effects by stimulating the activity of specific microorganisms

TL;DR: In this article, an 80-day soil-biochar incubation experiment was carried out to investigate biochar-induced soil priming effects by adopting isotopic techniques, and the intensity of PE was largely determined by the feedstock and was closely related to the proportion of cellulose and lignin in it.

Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Inputs on Soil Bacterial Abundance, Diversity, and Community Composition in Chinese Fir Plantations.

TL;DR: Soil pH and mineral N availability appeared to have a cooperative effect on bacterial abundance and community structure, with soil pH being the key influencing factor by canonical correspondence analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methane-fed microbial microcosms show differential community dynamics and pinpoint taxa involved in communal response.

TL;DR: The results support prior observations from metagenomics on distribution of carbon from methane among diverse bacterial populations and further suggest that communities are likely responsible for methane cycling, rather than a single type of microbe.

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.
