Ultra-high-throughput microbial community analysis on the Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq platforms
- J. Caporaso, Christian L. Lauber, +11 authors R. Knight
- Biology, Medicine
- The ISME Journal
- 8 March 2012
DNA sequencing continues to decrease in cost with the Illumina HiSeq2000 generating up to 600 Gb of paired-end 100 base reads in a ten-day run. Here we present a protocol for community amplicon… Expand
Metagenomics - a guide from sampling to data analysis
- T. Thomas, J. Gilbert, F. Meyer
- Biology, Medicine
- Microbial Informatics and Experimentation
- 9 February 2012
Metagenomics applies a suite of genomic technologies and bioinformatics tools to directly access the genetic content of entire communities of organisms. The field of metagenomics has been responsible… Expand
The Soil Microbiome Influences Grapevine-Associated Microbiota
- I. Zarraonaindia, S. Owens, +9 authors J. Gilbert
- Biology, Medicine
- mBio
- 24 March 2015
ABSTRACT Grapevine is a well-studied, economically relevant crop, whose associated bacteria could influence its organoleptic properties. In this study, the spatial and temporal dynamics of the… Expand
Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea
- R. M. Bowers, N. Kyrpides, +51 authors T. Woyke
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Biotechnology
- 1 August 2017
We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum Information about Any (x)… Expand
Metagenomics reveals sediment microbial community response to Deepwater Horizon oil spill

- Biology, Medicine
- The ISME Journal
- 23 January 2014
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the spring of 2010 resulted in an input of ∼4.1 million barrels of oil to the Gulf of Mexico; >22% of this oil is unaccounted for, with unknown environmental… Expand
A communal catalogue reveals Earth’s multiscale microbial diversity
- L. Thompson, J. Sanders, +301 authors Hongxia Zhao
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 November 2017
Our growing awareness of the microbial world’s importance and diversity contrasts starkly with our limited understanding of its fundamental structure. Despite recent advances in DNA sequencing, a… Expand
The Earth Microbiome project: successes and aspirations
