Abstract Emerging infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Zika virus disease, present a major threat to public health 1–3 . Despite intense research efforts, how, when where new diseases appear are still source of considerable uncertainty. A disease was recently reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. As 25 January 2020, at least 1,975 cases had been since the first patient hospitalized on 12 December 2019.

While metagenomics has emerged as a technology of choice for analyzing bacterial populations, the assembly metagenomic data remains challenging, thus stifling biological discoveries. Moreover, recent studies revealed that complex populations may be composed from dozens related strains, further amplifying challenge assembly. metaSPAdes addresses various challenges by capitalizing on computational ideas proved to useful in assemblies single cells and highly polymorphic diploid genomes. We benchmark against other state-of-the-art metagenome assemblers demonstrate it results high-quality across diverse sets.

Abstract Summary: The recovery of genomes from metagenomic datasets is a critical step to defining the functional roles underlying uncultivated populations. We previously developed MaxBin, an automated binning approach for high-throughput microbial metagenomes. Here we present expanded algorithm, MaxBin 2.0, which recovers co-assembly collection datasets. Tests on simulated revealed that 2.0 highly accurate in recovering individual genomes, and application several metagenomes environmental samples demonstrated it could achieve two complementary goals: more bacterial compared single sample as well comparing community composition between different sampling environments.

Both are extensions of Minimum Information about Any (x) Sequence (MIxS). The a Single Amplified Genome (MISAG) Metagenome-Assembled (MIMAG), including, but not limited to, assembly quality, estimates completeness contamination.

Grouping large genomic fragments assembled from shotgun metagenomic sequences to deconvolute complex microbial communities, or metagenome binning, enables the study of individual organisms and their interactions. Because nature these existing binning methods often miss a number species. In addition, most tools are not scalable datasets. Here we introduce automated software called MetaBAT that integrates empirical probabilistic distances genome abundance tetranucleotide frequency for accurate binning. outperforms alternative in accuracy computational efficiency on both synthetic real It automatically forms hundreds high quality bins very assembly consisting millions contigs matter hours single node. is open source available at https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat.

Bacteria were first detected in human tumors more than 100 years ago, but the characterization of tumor microbiome has remained challenging because its low biomass. We undertook a comprehensive analysis microbiome, studying 1526 and their adjacent normal tissues across seven cancer types, including breast, lung, ovary, pancreas, melanoma, bone, brain tumors. found that each type distinct composition breast particularly rich diverse microbiome. The intratumor bacteria are mostly intracellular present both immune cells. also noted correlations between or predicted functions with types subtypes, patients' smoking status, response to immunotherapy.
