Metagenomics has revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities, offering unprecedented insights into their genetic and functional diversity across Earth’s diverse ecosystems.
Locus-specific HERV expression associated with hepatocellular carcinoma
August 19, 2025
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) harbor accessory proteins that influence cellular processes and have been linked to a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. This study investigates locus-specific HERV expression and its association with gene dysregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a highly prevalent and deadly form of liver cancer worldwide.
Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis
March 15, 2021
We produced chromosome-level genome assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and Hi-C scaffolding approach.
Impact of Antibiotics on the Lung Microbiome and Lung Function in Children With Cystic Fibrosis 1 Year After Hospitalization for an Initial Pulmonary Exacerbation
September 12, 2022
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the microbiome and lung function in people with CF over 1 year after an initial pulmonary exacerbation.
Integrated Fertilization with Bagasse Vermicompost Changes the Microbiome of Mencía Must and Wine
July 27, 2022
Grape marc, or bagasse, is a byproduct of wine production that can be vermicomposted and used as organic fertilizer, which improve grape yields and wine quality
Nasopharyngeal metatranscriptome profiles of infants with bronchiolitis and risk of childhood asthma: a multicentre prospective study
July 13, 2022
Our objectives were to identify metatranscriptome profiles of infant bronchiolitis, and to examine relationship with host transcriptome and asthma development.
Orienting Ordered Scaffolds: Complexity and Algorithms
May 26, 2022
We address the problem of orientating ordered scaffolds as an optimization problem based on given weighted orientations of scaffolds and their pairs.
Integrated relationship of nasopharyngeal airway host response and microbiome associates with bronchiolitis severity
August 30, 2022
Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of infant hospitalizations but its immunopathology remains poorly understood.
