Gene Prediction with Glimmer for Metagenomic Sequences Augmented by Classification and Clustering
(Oxford University Press, 2011)Environmental shotgun sequencing (or metagenomics) is widely used to survey the communities of microbial organisms that live in many diverse ecosystems, such as the human body. Finding the protein-coding genes within the ... -
Mechanistic insight into digoxin inactivation by Eggerthella lenta augments our understanding of its pharmacokinetics
(Landes Bioscience, 2014)The human gut microbiota plays a key role in pharmacology, yet the mechanisms responsible remain unclear, impeding efforts toward personalized medicine. We recently identified a cytochrome-encoding operon in the common gut ... -
Using “Omics” and Integrated Multi-Omics Approaches to Guide Probiotic Selection to Mitigate Chytridiomycosis and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Emerging infectious diseases in wildlife are responsible for massive population declines. In amphibians, chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd, has severely affected many amphibian populations and ...
