This study examines how chlorine-based antiseptic use affects the hand microbiome during a military exercise, finding greater post-treatment microbiome differences with the antiseptic compared to alcohol-based alternatives.

This study examines how a military field exercise affects the bacterial communities on soldiers' hands and forearms, finding site-specific changes in diversity and composition.

The paper presents a cost-effective NGS library preparation method for insect genomics using low DNA input and 96-well plates, showing it works with ethanol-stored DNA and improves efficiency with bead clean-up.

The paper evaluates two additional miRNA library preparation kits, confirming that miRNA abundance biases are kit-specific and affect dataset comparability.

This study evaluates six commercial low-input miRNA library prep kits, finding differences in detection sensitivity and differential expression but no kit fully captures all expected miRNAs.

This study shows that Foxa2 binding site selection is influenced by chromatin environment and that chromatin opening requires collaboration with other transcription factors during endoderm differentiation.
