Abundance estimation and differential testing on strain level in metagenomics data
Motivation Current metagenomics approaches allow analyzing the composition of microbial communities at high resolution. Important changes to the composition are known to even occur on strain level and to go hand in hand with changes in disease or ecological state. However, specific challenges arise for strain level analysis due to highly similar genome sequences present. Only a limited number o...
متن کاملMetagenomic abundance estimation and diagnostic testing on species level
One goal of sequencing-based metagenomic community analysis is the quantitative taxonomic assessment of microbial community compositions. In particular, relative quantification of taxons is of high relevance for metagenomic diagnostics or microbial community comparison. However, the majority of existing approaches quantify at low resolution (e.g. at phylum level), rely on the existence of speci...
متن کاملRobust statistical methods for differential abundance analysis of metagenomics data
This document outlines my 2011-2012 AMSC project for the 663/664 course series and in particular the mid-year progress. It is an ever evolving document. The project is to develop Metastats 2.0, a software package analyzing metagenomic data. We propose two major extensions and modifications to the Metastats software and the underlying statistical methods. The first extension of Metastats is a mi...
متن کاملBracken: estimating species abundance in metagenomics data
Metagenomic experiments attempt to characterize microbial communities using high-throughput DNA sequencing. Identification of the microorganisms in a sample provides information about the genetic profile, population structure, and role of microorganisms within an environment. Until recently, most metagenomics studies focused on high-level characterization at the level of phyla, or alternatively...
متن کاملproficiency level and factors fostering reticence in efl learners
according to cheng (1999), in recent esl/efl literature, asian (especially east asian) learners of english as a foreign/second language have been arguably reported as reticent and passive learners. the most common allegations are that these students are reluctant to participate in classroom discourse; they are unwilling to give responses; they do not ask questions; and they are passive and over...
