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.

Bacteria of the Genus Sphaerochaeta from Low-Temperature Heavy Oil Reservoirs (Russia)
TL;DR: Enrichment and pure cultures of fermenting bacteria obtained from formation water of low-temperature oilfields (Russia) were studied, finding three strains isolated were anaerobic mesophilic slightly halophilic bacteria, which fermented a number of carbohydrates and grew as biofilms.

Physiologic intestinal 18 F-FDG uptake is associated with alteration of gut microbiota and proinflammatory cytokine levels in breast cancer.
Hai Jeon Yoon,Han Na Kim,Ji In Bang,Woosung Lim,Byung In Moon,Nam Sun Paik,Bom Sahn Kim,Hyung Lae Kim +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the physiologic intestinal uptake may reflect subclinical inflammation and differences in the composition of the gut microbiome in breast cancer patients.
The immune-modulation and gut microbiome structure modification associated with long-term dietary supplementation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis

Biological toxicity of fresh and rotten algae on freshwater fish: LC50, organ damage and antioxidant response.
TL;DR: The toxic algae solutions caused congestion inside the gills, intestinal lesions and high infection rates in the tested fish and activated the antioxidant defense system and changed the intestinal microbial structure, resulting in the damage to the microbial balance in the body and eventually the death of the fish.

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.

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.
