Saponin treatment for eukaryotic DNA depletion alters the microbial DNA profiles by reducing the abundance of Gram-negative bacteria in metagenomics analyses
INTRODUCTION Microbiome research, especially the detection of microorganisms by molecular techniques, has become a fundamental tool for investigating host-associated bacteria, such as those harbored by veterinary or human clinical samples[1,2]. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches now enable the identification of slow-growing, non-cultivable, or non-viable bacteria contained in clinical specimens without relying…

By sequencing DNA in a fundamentally new way, the Element AVITI System…
hypervariable region of 16s rrna
The mock community was created from pure cultures, whose 16S rRNA genes were determined through Sanger sequencing to be >3% different (Table S1). Bartram, Andrea. WebWhile 16S hypervariable region analysis is a powerful tool for bacterial taxonomic studies, it struggles to differentiate between closely related species. Limited by sequencing Rarefaction…
BBDuk Guide – DOE Joint Genome Institute
“Duk” stands to Decontamination Using Kmers. BBDuk was made to combine many common data-quality-related trimming, filtering, and masking actions into an single high-performance tool. It are capable of quality-trimming or filtering, adapter-trimming, contaminant-filtering via kmer matching, sequence masking, GC-filtering, length filtering, entropy-filtering, format conversion, histogram generation, subsampling, quality-score recalibration, kmer…
DADA2 error from ITS sequences – Technical Support
Hello there, I’m working with ITS sequences from 45 samples in total. They were sequenced through an Illumina Novaseq 6000 instrument. Using the last version of QIIME2 (2023.5), my problem occurs while I perform the denoising analysis through dada2 with the following command: qiime dada2 denoise-paired –i-demultiplexed-seqs paired-end-demux.qza –p-trunc-len-f 155…
Comparison of Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina MiSeq sequencing with mock communities and agricultural soil

At each site, four replicate plots of no-till corn (ARDEC) or no-till annual wheat (CPCRC) were…
Whole-genome sequencing of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from the first listeriosis foodborne outbreak in South Korea
Introduction Although globalization has provided opportunities for consumers to enjoy a wide range of products and expanded global food trade, the complexity of the international food supply has contributed to an increase in foodborne outbreaks (Quested et al., 2010; Hussain and Dawson, 2013). Worldwide efforts have ensured food safety by…

Assigned taxonomy after dada2 only “NAs” or “Mitochondria”
Hi, I followed the dada2 tutorial on 16S and ITS amplicon metagenomic data from soil samples. However, when trying to assign a taxonomic rank to my ASV table using DECIPHER, I only get “NAs”. When using the dada2 native’s Bayesian method, I get “NA” or “Mitochondria” (family). For my 16S…

High-quality single amplicon sequencing method for illumina MiSeq platform using pool of ‘N’ (0-10) spacer-linked target specific primers without PhiX spike-in
Background: Illumina sequencing platform requires base diversity in the initial 11 cycles for efficient cluster identification and colour matrix estimation. This limitation yields low-quality data for amplicon libraries having homogeneous base composition. Spike-in of PhiX library ensures base diversity but reduces the overall number of sequencing reads for data analysis….
