TL;DR: An improved dual-indexing amplification and sequencing approach to assess the composition of microbial communities from clinical samples using the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene on the Illumina MiSeq platform by introducing a 0 to 7 bp “heterogeneity spacer” to the index sequence that allows an equal proportion of samples to be sequenced out of phase.

Abstract: To take advantage of affordable high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies to characterize microbial community composition often requires the development of improved methods to overcome technical limitations inherent to the sequencing platforms. Sequencing low sequence diversity libraries such as 16S rRNA amplicons has been problematic on the Illumina MiSeq platform and often generates sequences of suboptimal quality. Here we present an improved dual-indexing amplification and sequencing approach to assess the composition of microbial communities from clinical samples using the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene on the Illumina MiSeq platform. We introduced a 0 to 7 bp “heterogeneity spacer” to the index sequence that allows an equal proportion of samples to be sequenced out of phase. Our approach yields high quality sequence data from 16S rRNA gene amplicons using both 250 bp and 300 bp paired-end MiSeq protocols and provides a flexible and cost-effective sequencing option.

Bacillus subtilis Supplementation in a High-Fat Diet Modulates the Gut Microbiota and Ameliorates Hepatic Lipid Accumulation in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of Bacillus subtilis supplementation in a high-fat diet on the gut microbiota and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in grass carp were investigated.
PLGA-encapsulated CpG ODN and Campylobacter jejuni lysate modulate cecal microbiota composition in broiler chickens experimentally challenged with C. jejuni.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that oral administration of encapsulated CpG ODN and C. jejuni lysate can reduce colonization by C.Jejuni by enhancing the proliferation of specific microbial groups, and the mechanisms that mediate these changes remain to be elucidated.

TL;DR: Results show that coastal Aureococcus blooms host a distinct community associated with regionally significant peaks in NCP, and weak relationships between taxonomy and NCP in less-productive waters suggest that productivity across much of this region is not linked to specific microplankton taxa.

TL;DR: Principal Coordinate Analysis indicated that both bacterial and fungal communities clustered according to the sampling site pointing to the significance of soil characteristics and climatic conditions for the composition of root-associated microbial communities.
Zooplankton as a potential vector for white band disease transmission in the endangered coral, Acropora cervicornis
TL;DR: Results indicate that in experimental conditions zooplankton were a vector for coral disease after exposure to disease-causing pathogens, and the importance of heterotrophy on zoopLankton to coral nutrition warrants further investigation.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform
Heng Li,Richard Durbin +1 more
TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

TL;DR: An overview of the analysis pipeline and links to raw data and processed output from the runs with and without denoising are provided.
Search and clustering orders of magnitude faster than BLAST
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.
Naïve Bayesian Classifier for Rapid Assignment of rRNA Sequences into the New Bacterial Taxonomy
TL;DR: The RDP Classifier can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new higher-order taxonomy proposed in Bergey's Taxonomic Outline of the Prokaryotes, and the majority of the classification errors appear to be due to anomalies in the current taxonomies.
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.
