  1. 1. An assessment of the surrogate host metagenome-assembled genome decontamination for non-model host organisms : Proof-of-concept

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : André Bourbonnais; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this study, a novel method has been assessed to bridge the gap between bioinformatics and ecological conservation efforts to gain evidence to further base conservational plans on. Herein, the validity of using a provisional host metagenome-assembled metagenome to decontaminate the data from host contamination was concluded. READ MORE

  3. 2. Computational detection of human papilloma virus in the cervical cancer genome

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Hope Omoghene; [2023]
    Keywords : VirusFinder2; HPViewer; VirusSeq; HPV; Bioinformatics; Cervical cancer;

    Abstract : Global research and development have witnessed new horizons in technological advancements, especially in the use of new-generation bioinformatic tools to solve human needs. Cervical cancer, caused by a sexually transmitted virus like human papillomavirus (HPV), is one of the most common cancers threatening women's health. READ MORE

  4. 3. Co-occurrence network analysis of biogas reactor microbiomes based on metagenomics sequencing data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Youwei Huan; [2020]
    Keywords : Co-occurrence network; Metagenomics; Anaerobic digestion;

    Abstract : Metagenome sequencing makes it possible to capture microbial communities in their diversity, to investigate population structures and evolutionary relationships, and to predict metabolic functions and interactions within the microbial community and with the environment. Metagenomics thus, significantly expands the research scope of microbiology. READ MORE

  5. 4. Phylogenetic analysis of aquatic microbiomes : Evolution of the brackish microbiome

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ziling Deng; [2020]
    Keywords : Metagonome; Aquatic environments; Biodiversity; Evolution; Phylogenetic tree; Ancestor state reconstruction; Biome origin; Metagenom; vattenmiljöer; biologisk mångfald; utveckling; fylogenetiskt träd; rekonstruktion av förfäder; biom-ursprung;

    Abstract : Microorganisms play crucial roles in aquatic environments in determining ecosystemstability and driving the turnover of elements essential to life. Understanding thedistribution and evolution of aquatic microorganisms will help us predict how aquaticecosystems will respond to Global Change, and such understanding can be gained bystudying these processes of the past.

  6. 5. Clustering metagenome contigs using coverage with CONCOCT

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Brynjar Smári Bjarnason; [2017]
    Keywords : metagenomics; coverage; composition; k-mer; clustering; mixture model; gaussian; dirichlet process; machine learning;

    Abstract : Metagenomics allows studying genetic potentials of microorganisms without prior cultivation. Since metagenome assembly results in fragmented genomes, a key challenge is to cluster the genome fragments (contigs) into more or less complete genomes. READ MORE
