This month's Genome Watch examines how coupling deep sequencing of the gut microbiome with metabolic profiles can advance the development of microbiota-focused personalized precision nutrition.
This month's Genome Watch discusses the release of 1,003 bacterial and archaeal genomes, and describes how they could increase our understanding of the diversity of microbial biological functions and contribute to improved metagenomic analyses.
This month's Genome Watch discusses how genome-wide epistasis analysis and genome-to-genome analyses are providing insights into the relevance of interactions between and within genomes of pathogens and their hosts.
This month's Genome Watch highlights how sequencing the genomes of multiple bacterial isolates from humans and animal infection models has revealed the presence of mutations that might represent adaptations for persistence in the host.
This month's Genome Watch highlights how metagenomics is continuing to reveal the diversity of microorganisms in the environment and how it is challenging and expanding our understanding of how life evolved on Earth.
This month's Genome Watch highlights how culture-independent selective enrichment approaches are now being coupled to whole-genome sequencing to enable the analysis of unculturable microorganisms.
This month's Genome Watch explores howin vitro directed evolution can be used to identify the target of a drug for the treatment of Chagas disease, which is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
This month's Genome Watch discusses the potential of selective whole-genome amplification for overcoming the challenges of whole-genome sequencing of malaria parasites in clinical samples in which they are low in abundance.
This month's Genome Watch discusses how whole-genome sequencing of bacteria from several body sites has provided insights into the spatial diversity of bacteria within patients.
