The microbiome describes the microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live in any particular environment. Microbiomics is the study of data relating to a microbiome. Microbiomics is used to characterize the components required to support the structure and function of the microbiome.
An unbiased metagenomic next-generation approach (mNGS) been shown to be useful in the broad identification of pathogens in clinical samples for infectious disease diagnosis, including viruse...
The human large intestine houses trillions of microorganisms which collectively form the highly diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota performs many funct...
Quinolones are one the most commonly prescribed classes of antibacterials in the world and are used to treat a broad variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections in humans....
INTRODUCTION: The recent coincidental emergence of the human microbiota and the Hologneomic Theory of Co-evolution unmasked the “Dual Citizenship” of symbiotic microbes and...
A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, som...
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
Clostridium difficile is a major pathogen responsible for infectious diarrhea in healthcare settings. This presentation will review the data from a study comparing the new Simplexa® C. di...
Background: In March 2014, a molecular cluster of five multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by the Austrian National Reference Laboratory. An investigation was initiate...
Rob Dunn has recently published Never Out of Season, the story of the homogenization of our global food supply and the risks that homogenization poses. He will build on the stories from this...
The immune system is complex and dynamic, focused on defending the body from a host of pathogens ranging from viruses to cancer. A number of different mechanisms have evolved that help the bo...
Virus – host interactions are currently among the most intensively studied research areas due to the promising new antiviral approaches emerging from these studies. Indeed, RNA viruses,...
Increasing prevalence and severity of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has necessitated novel antibacterial strategies. Ideally, new approaches would target bacterial pat...
Prokaryotes have long been at war with bacteriophage. The evolutionary pressure of this struggle has led both sides to develop sophisticated defenses. Notably, CRISPR-Cas systems evolved to l...
Adjunct probiotic therapy has the potential to decrease Clostridium difficile disease incidence and severity. After screening several potential probiotic bacteria for intrinsic resistance to...

It was 10 years ago that Illumina first launched the Genome Analyzer II, the world’s first high-throughput sequencing platform. That system could produce one billion bps of sequen...
Plasmid purification is the first critical step in ensuring successful transfection and protein expression. As such, it’s important that the right plasmid purification technology and co...
Many computational approaches exist for predicting the effects of amino acid substitutions from protein sequence. These are often (incorrectly) used for judging disease predisposition from in...
DATE: April 14, 2017TIME: 10:00AM PST, 1:00PM ET The study presented will represent the most comprehensive characterization of lipid changes in the context of aging and DR to d...
Genomics and metagenomics have become ubiquitous research efforts. Here we will show details of the development of physical, computational, and even space-based standards for metagenomi...
With the exception of the Microbiome Quality Control (MBQC), very little has been published on best practices and reference standards for microbiome and metagenomic studies. As evidenced by r...
In spite of the huge potential impact of microbiome science, current measurement capabilities are insufficient, particularly for translating discoveries and correlations observed in the lab i...
Healthcare is becoming more proactive and data-rich than anything before possible – and will increasingly focus on maintaining and enhancing wellness more than just reacting to disease....
