Metagenomic Sequencing of Two Salton Sea Microbiomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Salton Sea is the largest inland body of water in California, with salinities ranging from brackish freshwater to hypersaline. The lake experiences high nutrient input, and its surface water is exposed to temperatures up to 40°C. Here, we report the community profiles associated with surface water from the Salton Sea.

Comparative analysis of taxonomic, functional, and metabolic patterns of microbiomes from 14 full-scale biogas reactors by metagenomic sequencing and radioisotopic analysis
BACKGROUND Biogas production is a very complex process due to the high complexity in diversity and interactions of the microorganisms mediating it, and only limited and diffuse knowledge exists about the variation of taxonomic and functional patterns of microbiomes across different biogas reactors, and their relationships with the metabolic patterns. The present study used metagenomic sequencin...
متن کاملReprDB and panDB: minimalist databases with maximal microbial representation
BACKGROUND Profiling of shotgun metagenomic samples is hindered by a lack of unified microbial reference genome databases that (i) assemble genomic information from all open access microbial genomes, (ii) have relatively small sizes, and (iii) are compatible to various metagenomic read mapping tools. Moreover, computational tools to rapidly compile and update such databases to accommodate the r...

A metagenomic analysis of the dynamic changes of the composition of the intestinal microbiome of five participants of the MARS-500 experiment was performed. DNA samples were isolated from the feces of the participants taken just before the experiment, upon 14, 30, 210, 363 and 510 days of isolation in the experimental module, and two weeks upon completion of the experiment. The taxonomic compos...
متن کاملStructure-based search reveals hammerhead ribozymes in the human microbiome.
Deep sequencing of viral or bacterial nucleic acids monitors the presence and diversity of microbes in select populations and locations. Metagenomic study of mammalian viromes can help trace paths of viral transmissions within or between species. High throughput sequencing of patient and untreated sewage microbiomes showed many sequences with no similarity to genomic sequences of known function...
متن کاملCorrection: Microbial Community Profiling of Human Saliva Using Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing
Human saliva is clinically informative of both oral and general health. Since next generation shotgun sequencing (NGS) is now widely used to identify and quantify bacteria, we investigated the bacterial flora of saliva microbiomes of two healthy volunteers and five datasets from the Human Microbiome Project, along with a control dataset containing short NGS reads from bacterial species represen...
