The introduction of methods using next-generation sequencing to microbial ecology has enabled high-throughput assessment of complex microbial communities. This is achieved by sequencing either ...

Studying the components of these communities can offer insight into human biology and environmental complexity, however many microbes can be difficult to culture. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing uses ...

Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is the progressive narrowing of the laryngotracheal tract at the level of the glottis, subglottic space, or the trachea. The predominant etiology of LTS is iatrogenic, ...

The term was coined by Jo Handelsman and colleagues in 1998 to describe the application of genomic methods to the total DNA—the metagenome—of a microbial community. The concept emerged from a ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers described developing a sequencing strategy based on amplicons for mpox detection. Study: Development of an amplicon-based ...
