GenomeFace: a deep learning-based metagenome binner trained on 43,000 microbial genomes

Abstract Metagenomic binning, the process of grouping DNA sequences into taxonomic units, is critical for understanding the functions, interactions, and evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities. We propose a deep learning approach to binning using two neural networks, one based on composition and another on environmental abundance, dynamically weighting the contribution…

A Benchmark of Genetic Variant Calling Pipelines Using Metagenomic Short-Read Sequencing

Introduction Short-read metagenomic sequencing is the technique most widely used to explore the natural habitat of millions of bacteria. In comparison with 16S rRNA sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing (MGS) provides sequence information of the whole genomes, which can be used to identify different genes present in an individual bacterium and…

Liquid Biopsy Uses ctDNA to Predict Recurrence of Hodgkin Lymphoma

A Stanford Medicine-led, international study of hundreds of samples from patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has shown that levels of tumor DNA circulating in the blood can identify those individuals who are responding well to treatment and those who are likely to experience a disease recurrence. The study results suggest…
