Reducing antibiotics overuse in animal agriculture is one key combat against the spread of antibiotic resistance. Probiotics are a potential replacement feed; however, it not clear whether and how probiotics differ impact on physiology microbial ecology host animals.Host phenotype fecal microbiota broilers with either or as feed additive were simultaneously sampled at four time points from birth to slaughter then compared. Probiotic feeding resulted lower conversion ratio (FCR) induced...

Previous studies have discovered a lot of immune-related genes responding to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection in crustacean. However, little information is available relation underlying mechanisms host responses during the WSSV acute stage naturally infected shrimp. In this study, we employed next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic techniques observe transcriptome differences shrimp between latent stage. A total 64,188,426 Illumina reads, including 31,685,758 reads from group...

Mastitis, which affects nearly all lactating mammals including human, is generally thought to be caused by local infection of the mammary glands. For treatment, antibiotics are commonly prescribed, however concern in both treatment efficacy and neonate safety. Here, using bovine mastitis most costly disease dairy industry as a model, we showed that intestinal microbiota alone can lead mastitis.

Abstract The number of metagenomes is increasing rapidly. However, current methods for metagenomic analysis are limited by their capability in-depth data mining among a large microbiome each which carries complex community structure. Moreover, the complexity configuring and operating computational pipeline also hinders efficient processing end users. In this work we introduce Parallel-META 3, comprehensive fully automatic toolkit rapid datasets, with advanced features including 16S rRNA...

Abstract Microbiome samples with low microbial biomass or severe DNA degradation remain challenging for amplicon-based whole-metagenome sequencing approaches. Here, we introduce 2bRAD-M, a highly reduced and cost-effective strategy which only sequences ~ 1% of metagenome can simultaneously produce species-level bacterial, archaeal, fungal profiles. 2bRAD-M accurately generate taxonomic profiles otherwise hard-to-sequence merely 1 pg total DNA, high host contamination, severely fragmented...

Massive microbiome sequencing data has been generated, which elucidates associations between microbes and their environmental phenotypes such as host health or ecosystem status. Outstanding bioinformatic tools are the basis to decipher biological information hidden under data. However, most approaches placed difficulties on accessibility nonprofessional users. On other side, computing throughput become a significant bottleneck of many analytical pipelines in processing large-scale datasets....

It has been widely recognized that a critical time window for neurodevelopment occurs in early life and the host's gut microbiome plays an important role neurodevelopment. Following recent demonstrations maternal prenatal influences offspring brain development murine models, we aim to explore whether association between is or postnatal human.Here leverage large-scale human study compare associations microbiota metabolites from mothers during pregnancy their children with children's...

The stable gut microbiome plays a key role in sustaining host health, while the instability of also has been found to be risk factor various metabolic diseases. At ecological and evolutionary scales, inevitable competition between ingested probiotic indigenous can lead an increase instability. It remains largely unclear if how exogenous prebiotic improve overall stability consumption. In this study, we used Lactobacillus plantarum HNU082 (Lp082) as model examine impact continuous or pulsed...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe sensory and motor dysfunction below the lesion. However, cellular dynamic responses heterogeneity across different regions lesion remain be elusive. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomics investigate region-related in female rhesus monkeys with complete thoracic SCI from acute chronic phases. We found that distal lumbar tissue cells were severely impacted, leading degenerative microenvironments characterized by disease-associated microglia...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes tissue structure damage and composition changes of the neural parenchyma, resulting in severe consequences for spinal function. Mimicking components microstructure tissues holds promise restoring regenerative microenvironment after SCI. Here, we have utilized electrospinning technology to develop aligned decellularized fibers (A-DSCF) without requiring synthetic polymers or organic solvents. A-DSCF preserves multiple types extracellular matrix proteins forms a...

Abstract Accurate species identification and abundance estimation are critical for the interpretation of whole metagenome sequencing (WMS) data. Yet, existing metagenomic profilers suffer from false-positive identifications, which can account more than 90% total identified species. Here, by leveraging species-specific Type IIB restriction endonuclease digestion sites as reference instead universal markers or microbial genomes, we present a profiler, MAP2B ( M et A genomic P rofiler based on...

Here we show in distribution, origin, and function fibroblasts within scars after SCI mice female monkeys. Utilizing lineage tracing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), found that perivascular (PFs), meningeal (MFs), rather than pericytes/vascular smooth cells (vSMCs), primarily contribute both transection crush SCI.
