Comparative analysis of epigenomic evolution in mammals
This study used comparative epigenomic data from multiple mammalian species to investigate the roles of DNA methylation in gene evolution, species trait evolution, and genomic... -
Gut vertebrate gut archaeal community assessment via archaea-targeting 16S rR...
Commonly used 16S rRNA primers miss much of the archaeal diversity present in the vertebrate gut, leaving open the question of which archaea are host associated, the... -
Combining bleach and mild pre-digestion improves ancient DNA recovery from bones
The feasibility of genome-scale studies from archaeological material remains critically dependent on the ability to access endogenous, authentic DNA. In the majority of cases,... -
Large scale metagenome assembly reveals novel animal-associated microbial div...
Large-scale metagenome assemblies of human microbiomes have produced a huge catalogue of previously unseen genomic data, but has been applied to only a few of the >66 000... -
Genome Skimming with Nanopore Sequencing Precisely Determines Global and Tran...
This study determines that genome skimming, shallow depth of sequencing, is capable of accurately quantifying global DNA methylation level across a range of vertebrates.
