Current-day metagenomics analyses increasingly involve de novo taxonomic classification
of long DNA sequences and metagenome-assembled genomes. Here, we show that the …

In modern-day metagenomics, there is an increasing need for robust taxonomic annotation of
long DNA sequences from unknown micro-organisms. Long metagenomic sequences may …

There has been a resurgence in the number of pertussis cases in Brazil and around the
world. Here, the genome of a clinical Bordetella pertussis strain (Bz181) that was recently …

SciELO - Brasil - The pertussis problem: classical epidemiology and strain characterization
should go hand in hand The pertussis problem: classical epidemiology and strain …

The analysis of shotgun metagenomic data provides valuable insights into microbial
communities, while allowing resolution at individual genome level. In absence of complete …

Metagenomic analysis typically includes read-based taxonomic profiling, assembly, and
binning of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). Here we integrate these steps in Read …

Bacteria commonly form aggregates in a range of coral species [termed coral-associated
microbial aggregates (CAMAs)], although these structures remain poorly characterized despite …

Steroids are abundant growth substrates for bacteria in natural, engineered, and host-associated
environments. This study analyzed the distribution of the aerobic 9,10-seco steroid …

While it is well recognized that the environmental resistome is global, diverse, and augmented
by human activities, it has been difficult to assess risk because of the inability to culture …

Bacteria have recently emerged as important constituents of lichen holobionts. Here, 29
bacterial metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) sequences were reconstructed from lichen …
